Subject: [PATCH] btrfs: make ASSERT no-op in release builds
Date: Thu, 30 Oct 2025 21:23:17 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251030182322.4085697-1-foxido@foxido.dev> (raw)
The current definition of `ASSERT(cond)` as `(void)(cond)` is redundant,
because all checks are without side effects and don't affect code logic.
However, some checks has READ_ONCE in them or other 'compiler-unfriendly'
behaviour. For example, ASSERT(list_empty) in btrfs_add_dealloc_inode
was compiled to redundant mov because of this.
This patch replaces ASSERT with BUILD_BUG_ON_INVALID for
!CONFIG_BTRFS_ASSERT builds.

.o size reductions are not that big, for example on defconfig + btrfs
fs/btrfs/*.o size went from 3280528 to 3277936, so compiler was pretty
efficient on his own
