Subject: list: Expand list_first_entry_or_null()
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=12adfd882c5f37548acaba4f043a158b3c54468b;p=GitHub%2Fmoto-9609%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git

list: Expand list_first_entry_or_null()

Due to the use of READ_ONCE() in list_empty() the compiler cannot
optimise !list_empty() ? list_first_entry() : NULL very well. By
manually expanding list_first_entry_or_null() we can take advantage of
the READ_ONCE() to avoid the list element changing under the test while
the compiler can generate smaller code.
