congratulations! A nice achievement IMHO.... :)
Thanks :)
is it merged with linux kernel mainline?
No. I am not sure if it good enough to be merged, I would like to get some opinions before I ask to add it to mainline.
IIRC too, "jmp" will screw branch prediction and sometimes will make pipeline stall.....So, all in all, it's a matter about speeding about code path, especially fast path like what you do.
Generally I am aware about advantages of inlining, but I also read in CodingStyle document about its disadvantages, that is where my question came from :) Maybe I should ask about it on some other list? Lukasz Czyz
