introduce helper mem_cgroup_zoneinfo_zone(). This will make mem_cgroup_iter() code more compact.I dunno. Helpers are usually nice but this one adds more code then it removes. It also doesn't help the generated code. So I don't see any reason to merge it.So should we drop it from mmotm?Yes, please.quoted

The patch seemed rather nice to me. mem_cgroup_zoneinfo_zone() encapsulates a particular concept and gives it a name. That's better than splattering the logic into callsites. The patch makes no change to code size but that's because gcc is silly. Mark mem_cgroup_zoneinfo_zone() as noinline and the patch shrinks .text by 40 bytes. -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@kvack.org.
