It adds spurious traffic, for short. # # On top of it prefetch is notoriously tricky to use for single-threaded # purposes, making it questionable from the get go. # # As such, remove it. # # I admit upfront I did not see value in benchmarking this change, but I # can do it if that is deemed appropriate. # # Removal from new_inode and of the entire thing are in the same patch as # requested by Linus, so whatever weird looks can be directed at that guy. # # Link: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tglx/history.git/commit/fs/inode.c?id=c37fa164f793735b32aa3f53154ff1a7659e6442 [1] # Signed-off-by: Mateusz Guzik <mjguzik@gmail.com> # Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> # < /opt/cross/kisskb/korg/gcc-13.1.0-nolibc/or1k-linux/bin/or1k-linux-gcc --version # < /opt/cross/kisskb/korg/gcc-13.1.0-nolibc/or1k-linux/bin/or1k-linux-ld --version # < git log --format=%s --max-count=1 c8afaa1b0f8bc93d013ab2ea6b9649958af3f1d3 # make -s -j 160 ARCH=openrisc O=/kisskb/build/linus_or1ksim_defconfig_or32-gcc13 CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/cross/kisskb/korg/gcc-13.1.0-nolibc/or1k-linux/bin/or1k-linux- or1ksim_defconfig # < make -s -j 160 ARCH=openrisc O=/kisskb/build/linus_or1ksim_defconfig_or32-gcc13 CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/cross/kisskb/korg/gcc-13.1.0-nolibc/or1k-linux/bin/or1k-linux- help # make -s -j 160 ARCH=openrisc O=/kisskb/build/linus_or1ksim_defconfig_or32-gcc13 CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/cross/kisskb/korg/gcc-13.1.0-nolibc/or1k-linux/bin/or1k-linux- olddefconfig # make -s -j 160 ARCH=openrisc O=/kisskb/build/linus_or1ksim_defconfig_or32-gcc13 CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/cross/kisskb/korg/gcc-13.1.0-nolibc/or1k-linux/bin/or1k-linux- Completed OK # rm -rf /kisskb/build/linus_or1ksim_defconfig_or32-gcc13 # Build took: 0:00:29.525794
