Subject: [RFC PATCH 1/3] x86/lib: Refactor csum_partial_copy_generic() into a macro
Date: Mon, 24 Nov 2025 21:32:24 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251124213227.123779-2-chang.seok.bae@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251124213227.123779-1-chang.seok.bae@intel.com>
The current assembly implementation is too rigid to support new
variants that share most of the logic. Refactor the function body into a
reusable macro, with register aliasing to improve readability.
No functional change.
Signed-off-by: Chang S. Bae <chang.seok.bae@intel.com>

No intention for upstream, but this series is just an example of how
extended GPRs can be used within the kernel.
