Singly linked list for keeping linked requests is enough, because we almost always operate on the head and traverse forward with the exception of linked timeouts going 1 hop backwards. Replace ->link_list with a handmade singly linked list. Also kill REQ_F_LINK_HEAD in favour of checking a newly added ->list for NULL directly. That saves 8B in io_kiocb, is not as heavy as list fixup, makes better use of cache by not touching a previous request (i.e. last request of the link) each time on list modification and optimises cache use further in the following patch, and actually makes travesal easier removing in the end some lines. Also, keeping invariant in ->list instead of having REQ_F_LINK_HEAD is less error-prone. Signed-off-by: Pavel Begunkov <asml.silence@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
