Subject: block: Fix bio_flagged() so that gcc can better optimise it
X-Git-Tag: v6.6.17~4506^2~178
X-Git-Url: http://review.tizen.org/git/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=09e8c253415b8eb9ca29a2131d2ebf17743534c5;p=platform%2Fkernel%2Flinux-rpi.git

block: Fix bio_flagged() so that gcc can better optimise it

Fix bio_flagged() so that multiple instances of it, such as:

	if (bio_flagged(bio, BIO_PAGE_REFFED) ||
	    bio_flagged(bio, BIO_PAGE_PINNED))

can be combined by the gcc optimiser into a single test in assembly
(arguably, this is a compiler optimisation issue[1]).

The missed optimisation stems from bio_flagged() comparing the result of
the bitwise-AND to zero.  This results in an out-of-line bio_release_page()
being compiled to something like:

   <+0>:     mov    0x14(%rdi),%eax
   <+3>:     test   $0x1,%al
   <+5>:     jne    0xffffffff816dac53 <bio_release_pages+11>
   <+7>:     test   $0x2,%al
   <+9>:     je     0xffffffff816dac5c <bio_release_pages+20>
   <+11>:    movzbl %sil,%esi
   <+15>:    jmp    0xffffffff816daba1 <__bio_release_pages>
   <+20>:    jmp    0xffffffff81d0b800 <__x86_return_thunk>

However, the test is superfluous as the return type is bool.  Removing it
results in:

   <+0>:     testb  $0x3,0x14(%rdi)
   <+4>:     je     0xffffffff816e4af4 <bio_release_pages+15>
   <+6>:     movzbl %sil,%esi
   <+10>:    jmp    0xffffffff816dab7c <__bio_release_pages>
   <+15>:    jmp    0xffffffff81d0b7c0 <__x86_return_thunk>

instead.

Also, the MOVZBL instruction looks unnecessary[2] - I think it's just
're-booling' the mark_dirty parameter.
