proc: spread likely/unlikely a bit use_pde() is used at every open/read/write/... of every random /proc file. Negative refcount happens only if PDE is being deleted by module (read: never). So it gets "likely". unuse_pde() gets "unlikely" for the same reason. close_pdeo() gets unlikely as the completion is filled only if there is a race between PDE removal and close() (read: never ever). It even saves code on x86_64 defconfig: add/remove: 0/0 grow/shrink: 1/2 up/down: 2/-20 (-18) Function old new delta close_pdeo 183 185 +2 proc_reg_get_unmapped_area 119 111 -8 proc_reg_poll 85 73 -12 Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20180104175657.GA5204@avx2 Signed-off-by: Alexey Dobriyan <adobriyan@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
