Subject: fs: reduce work in fdget_pos()
X-Git-Tag: io_uring-6.15-20250403~160^2
X-Git-Url: https://git.kernel.dk/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=5370b43e4bcf60049bfd44db83ba8d2ec43d0152;p=linux-block.git

fs: reduce work in fdget_pos()

1. predict the file was found
2. explicitly compare the ref to "one", ignoring the dead zone

The latter arguably improves the behavior to begin with. Suppose the
count turned bad -- the previously used ref routine is going to check
for it and return 0, indicating the count does not necessitate taking
->f_pos_lock. But there very well may be several users.

i.e. not paying for special-casing the dead zone improves semantics.

While here spell out each condition in a dedicated if statement. This
has no effect on generated code.

Sizes are as follows (in bytes; gcc 13, x86-64):
stock:		321
likely(): 	298
likely()+ref:	280
