Subject: Remove useless test and initialisation in name to hash computation
Date: Tue, 25 Jul 2017 20:40:03 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <59779083.7000501@partition-saving.com> (raw)
Hello,
I think there is a minor improvment that could be performed on name to hash
computation in hash.c. Before first byte modulo 4 the computed value is
reinitialised, but it is already correctly initialised before loop and after
having processed last byte modulo 4. So the test and initialisation seems useless.
For the kernel, this lead to following change (sorry I do not have a git version
of it, so it is a simple diff):

For e2fsprogs, the 2 functions are combined in one, so there is only one change:
