Inline wake_up_bit. The function just pases arguments around.

So now every call to wake_up_bit(word, bit) now is converted to:

__wake_up_bit(bit_waitqueue(word, bit), word, bit);

which is in turn converted to (looking into your next patch):

{
      wait_queue_head_t *wq = bit_waitqueue(word, bit);
      struct wait_bit_key key = __WAIT_BIT_KEY_INITIALIZER(word, bit);
      if (waitqueue_active(wq))
              __wake_up(wq, TASK_NORMAL, 1, &key);
}

which is in turn converted to (looking into your other patch):

{
      wait_queue_head_t *wq = bit_waitqueue(word, bit);
      struct wait_bit_key key = __WAIT_BIT_KEY_INITIALIZER(word, bit);
      if (waitqueue_active(wq))
              {
                     unsigned long flags;
                     spin_lock_irqsave(&qw->lock, flags);
                     __wake_up_common(wq, TASK_NORMAL, 1, 0, &key);
                     spin_unlock_irqrestore(&wq->lock, flags);
              }
}

And you know what? This is likely not the end yet! It's possible
spin_lock_irqXXX, __wake_up_common, waitqueue_active or bit_waitqueue
are inlines - I didn't check.

Yes, that's 0.2% code size increase (or none increase, if drop inline-__wake_up_bit.patch and apply only the other patches). To me it seems crazy, how this code was refactored again and again over time, up to 8 levels of functions (including passing a pointer to a method). In 2.0.x kernel series, it was just a single call to wake up a queue.
