Subject: [PATCHv4 5/6] efi_mem_sort: use list_for_each_entry_safe instead
Date: Mon, 20 Apr 2026 14:25:19 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260420192520.1444749-6-rs@ti.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260420192520.1444749-1-rs@ti.com>
From: Randolph Sapp <rs@ti.com>
Use list_for_each_entry_safe and comparisons against the current and
next efi_mem_desc. This reduces the computation required for merging
regions, prevents unnecessary additional iterations of the list, and
requires less temporary values.
