Subject: [PATCH 11/17] lookup_fast(): consolidate the RCU success case
Date: Sun, 19 Jan 2020 03:17:23 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200119031738.2681033-11-viro@ZenIV.linux.org.uk> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20200119031738.2681033-1-viro@ZenIV.linux.org.uk>
From: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
1) in case of __follow_mount_rcu() failure, lookup_fast() proceeds
to call unlazy_child() and, should it succeed, handle_mounts().
Note that we have status > 0 (or we wouldn't be calling
__follow_mount_rcu() at all), so all stuff conditional upon
non-positive status won't be even touched.
Consolidate just that sequence after the call of __follow_mount_rcu().
2) calling d_is_negative() and keeping its result is pointless -
we either don't get past checking ->d_seq (and don't use the results of
d_is_negative() at all), or we are guaranteed that ->d_inode and
type bits of ->d_flags had been consistent at the time of d_is_negative()
call. IOW, we could only get to the use of its result if it's
equal to !inode. The same ->d_seq check guarantees that after that point
this CPU won't observe ->d_flags values older than ->d_inode update.
So 'negative' variable is completely pointless these days.
