Subject: [PATCH] proc: save decrement during lookup/readdir in /proc/$PID
Date: Tue, 22 Nov 2016 22:51:44 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20161122195143.GA29812@avx2> (raw)

Comparison for "<" works equally well as comparison for "<="
but one SUB/LEA is saved (no, it is not optimised away, at least here).
