I ran into the same issue on __const_iowrite64_copy()
now, will send an updated patch. I also noticed that
the __iowrite32_copy() and __iowrite64_copy() look
redundant after my change, so I wonder if we should
just remove those and rename __const_iowrite32_copy()
and __const_iowrite64_copy() accordingly.

I don't think this is the right fix.

The idea was that this was checked in __iowrite32_copy(), which does:

	#define __iowrite32_copy(to, from, count)                  \
	        (__builtin_constant_p(count) ?                     \
	                 __const_iowrite32_copy(to, from, count) : \
	                 __iowrite32_copy_full(to, from, count))

... and so __const_iowrite32_copy() should really be marked as __always_inline,
and the same for __const_memcpy_toio_aligned32(), to guarantee that both get
inlined and such that __const_memcpy_toio_aligned32() sees a constant.

The same reasoning applies to __const_iowrite64_copy() and
__const_memcpy_toio_aligned64().

Checking for a constant in __const_iowrite32_copy() doesn't guarantee
that __const_memcpy_toio_aligned32() is inlined and will actually see a
constant.

Does diff the below you for you?

Mark.

The same reasoning applies to __const_iowrite64_copy() and
__const_memcpy_toio_aligned64().

Checking for a constant in __const_iowrite32_copy() doesn't guarantee
that __const_memcpy_toio_aligned32() is inlined and will actually see a
constant.

Yes, your version addresses both failures I ran into, and
I think all other theoretical cases.

I would prefer to combine both though, using __always_inline
to force the compiler to pick the inline version over
__iowrite32_copy_full() even when it is optimizing for size
and it decides the inline version is larger, but removing
the extra complexity from the macro.

According to Jason, he used a macro here to be sure
that the compiler can detect an inline function argument
as constant when the value is known but it is not
a constant value according to the C standard.

This was indeed a problem in older versions of clang
that missed a lot of optimizations in the kernel, but
clang-8 and higher were changed to have the same behavior
as gcc here, so it is no longer necessary now that the
older versions are unable to build kernels.

Sorry, I'm not sure what you mean here. I don't see anything handling
optimizing for size today so I'm not sure what change your suggesting to
force the use of the inline version; AFAICT that'd always be forced for
a suitable constant size.

What change are you suggesting?

What I meant is that reason gcc chooses to not inline
the macro is when we build with CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE.

Since it doesn't know that __const_memcpy_toio_aligned64()
is intended to be small after inlining, it sometimes
decides against it, which (with just my patch) would
fall back to the out-of-line __iowrite32_copy_full()
while trying to generate smaller code.

The __always_inline annotation just overrides the
calculation.

Ah, ok.

I think what you're suggesting is:

* Add the __always_inline annotations, as in my patch.

* Move the __builtin_constant_p check into __const_iowrite32_copy(), as in your
  patch.

* Remove the __iowrite32_copy() macro and rename __const_iowrite32_copy() to
  __iowrite32_copy(), removing the redundant logic.

Assuming so, that makes total sense to me.
