Subject: [PATCH] fs: unconditionally use atime_needs_update() in pick_link()
Date: Tue, 8 Apr 2025 09:36:41 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250408073641.1799151-1-mjguzik@gmail.com> (raw)
Vast majority of the time the func returns false.
This avoids a branch to determine whether we are in RCU mode.
