Subject: [PATCH v2 0/9] s390: vfio-ccw code rework
Date: Thu,  6 Jun 2019 22:28:22 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20190606202831.44135-1-farman@linux.ibm.com> (raw)

Now that we've gotten a lot of other series either merged or
pending for the next merge window, I'd like to revisit some
code simplification that I started many moons ago.

In that first series, a couple of fixes got merged into 4.20,
a couple more got some "seems okay" acks/reviews, and the rest
were nearly forgotten about.  I dusted them off and did quite a
bit of rework to make things a little more sequential and
providing a better narrative (I think) based on the lessons we
learned in my earlier changes.  Because of this rework, the
acks/reviews on the first version didn't really translate to the
code that exists here (patch 1 being the closest exception), so
I didn't apply any of them here.  The end result is mostly the
same as before, but now looks like this:

Patch summary:
1:   Squash duplicate code
2-4: Remove duplicate code in CCW processor
5-7: Remove one layer of nested arrays
8-9: Combine direct/indirect addressing CCW processors

Using 5.2.0-rc3 as a base plus the vfio-ccw branch of recent fixes,
we shrink the code quite a bit (8.7% according to the bloat-o-meter),
and we remove one set of mallocs/frees on the I/O path by removing
one layer of the nested arrays.  There are no functional/behavioral
changes with this series; all the tests that I would run previously
continue to pass/fail as they today.

Changelog:
 v1/RFC->v2:
  - [Eric] Dropped first two patches, as they have been merged
  - [Eric] Shuffling of patches for readability/understandability
  - [Halil] Actually added meaningful comments/commit messages
    in the patches
 v1/RFC: https://patchwork.kernel.org/cover/10675251/
