doesn't need to do atomic_dec_and_test(), because it is never dropping the last reference to id_priv (and in fact if it was, the last line would be a use-after-free bug). Does it make sense to replace it with: static void cma_detach_from_dev(struct rdma_id_private *id_priv) { list_del(&id_priv->list); /* * cma_detach_from_dev() will never be dropping the last * reference to id_priv, so no need to test here. */ atomic_dec(&id_priv->cma_dev->refcount); id_priv->cma_dev = NULL; } on my x86_64 build that's worth add/remove: 0/0 grow/shrink: 0/1 up/down: 0/-40 (-40) function old new delta cma_detach_from_dev 106 66 -40 - R. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
