linux.git/include/linux/genhd.h, branch v2.6.26-rc2 Linux kernel source tree block: avoid duplicate calls to get_part() in disk stat code 2008-05-07T08:15:46+00:00 Jens Axboe jens.axboe@oracle.com 2008-05-07T08:15:46+00:00 28f13702f03e527fcb979747a882cf366c489c50 get_part() is fairly expensive, as it O(N) loops over partitions to find the right one. In lots of normal IO paths we end up looking up the partition twice, to make matters even worse. Change the stat add code to accept a passed in partition instead.

Remove <linux/genhd.h> from user-visible headers. 2008-03-12T19:34:37+00:00 David Woodhouse dwmw2@infradead.org 2008-03-12T16:52:56+00:00 a8ae50ba9336ff77d0df0943ac27b79ba0a5a521 It was all wrapped in '#ifdef CONFIG_BLOCK' anyway, so userspace was getting nothing useful out of it. And the special #ifndef __KERNEL__ version of 'struct partition' makes me inclined to promote an attitude of violence... Stick some comments on some of the #endifs too, while we're at it.
