Subject: [RFC 11/12] module: use list_add_tail_rcu() when adding module
Date: Fri, 10 Mar 2023 21:17:11 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230311051712.4095040-12-mcgrof@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20230311051712.4095040-1-mcgrof@kernel.org>

Put a new module at the end of the list intead of making
new modules at the top of the list. find_module_all() start
the hunt using the first entry on the list, if we assume
that the modules which are first loaded are the most
frequently looked for modules this should provide a tiny
optimization.

This is theoretical, and could use more actual data by analzying
the impact of this patch on boot time a slew of systems using
systemd-analyze.
