[PATCH] clocksource: Utilize cpumask_next_wrap() to shrink code size
Posted by I Hsin Cheng 4 months ago
Simplify the procedure of CPU random selection under
"clocksource_verify_choose_cpus()" with "cpumask_next_wrap()". The
logic is still the same but with this change it can shrink the code size
by 18 bytes and increase readability.

$ ./scripts/bloat-o-meter vmlinux_old vmlinux_new
add/remove: 0/0 grow/shrink: 0/1 up/down: 0/-18 (-18)
Function                                     old     new   delta
clocksource_verify_percpu                   1064    1046     -18

I think Yury submitted the same change here recently:
  https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20250607141106.563924-3-yury.norov@gmail.com/

Though, I think he has another iteration needed as Thomas had feedback
on the subject line.

The bloat-o-meter data is a nice inclusion here!

Yury: Would you be open to adapting I Hsin Cheng's commit message into
yours and adding them as co-author via the Co-developed-by: tag?
(Assuming I Hsin Cheng agrees - See
Documentation/process/submitting-patches.rst for how to do this
properly).

thanks

Yeah, bloat-o-meter report is good enough to add co-developed-by tag.
I Hsin, do you agree?

Sure thing, so do I need to apply the tag myself or we'll follow Yury's
patch work?

John, FYI.

I Hsing submitted another patch that duplicates this series. You're in
CC, but just in case:

https://lore.kernel.org/all/20250613033447.3531709-1-richard120310@gmail.com/

I think it's pretty disgusting. I will not make him co-author, and
will not give any credit for this work.

Thanks,
Yury

I just realized your patch series already does that, I didn't check on
other patches, I'm sorry, I should've been more careful on that, not
just looking at the only patch in the link.

Hope you can forgive me, I really have no offense on that and didn't
mean to do it.

I Hsin Cheng

I'm really sorry for this, I really didn't notice others have already
send the patches.

I didn't mean to copy others work on purpose, I am very sorry.

Thanks,
