My point is you didn't achieve that. The end result of your patch is: struct inode *inode = VFS_I(ip); if (IS_DAX(VFS_I(ip))) return dax_clear_blocks(inode, xfs_find_bdev_for_inode(inode), block, size); So now we have a local variable, but we still have 2 calls to VFS_I(ip). i.e. this makes the code harder to read and understand than before for no benefit.
