From: Andreas Mohr Date: Tue, 28 Mar 2006 06:59:49 +0000 (+0200) Subject: [PATCH] cfq-iosched: small cfq_choose_req() optimization X-Git-Tag: v2.6.17-rc1~208^2~2 X-Git-Url: http://pilppa.com/gitweb/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=e8a99053ea82a4b4375049886cf1db64d7dcd755;p=linux-2.6-omap-h63xx.git [PATCH] cfq-iosched: small cfq_choose_req() optimization this is a small optimization to cfq_choose_req() in the CFQ I/O scheduler (this function is a semi-often invoked candidate in an oprofile log): by using a bit mask variable, we can use a simple switch() to check the various cases instead of having to query two variables for each check. Benefit: 251 vs. 285 bytes footprint of cfq_choose_req(). Also, common case 0 (no request wrapping) is now checked first in code.
