When passing through irq or NMI contexts, the current code uses ->dynticks_nmi_nesting to detect if it's in the ourmost at the moment.
Here, the thing is that all the related functions, rcu_irq_enter(), rcu_nmi_enter(), rcu_irq_exit() and rcu_nmi_exit() are carrying out the check within each under the following call relationship so there must be redundant conditional branches: rcu_irq_enter() /* A conditional branch with ->dynticks_nmi_nesting */ rcu_nmi_enter() /* A conditional branch with ->dynticks_nmi_nesting */ /* A conditional branch with ->dynticks_nmi_nesting */ rcu_irq_exit() /* A conditional branch with ->dynticks_nmi_nesting */ rcu_nmi_exit() /* A conditional branch with ->dynticks_nmi_nesting */ /* A conditional branch with ->dynticks_nmi_nesting */ rcu_nmi_enter() /* A conditional branch with ->dynticks_nmi_nesting */ rcu_nmi_exit() /* A conditional branch with ->dynticks_nmi_nesting */ In order to make the code more readable and remove redundant conditional branches, we need to refactor rcu_{nmi,irq}_{enter,exit}() so they use a common function for each like: rcu_irq_enter() inlining rcu_nmi_enter_common(irq) /* A conditional branch with ->dynticks_nmi_nesting */ rcu_irq_exit() inlining rcu_nmi_exit_common(irq) /* A conditional branch with ->dynticks_nmi_nesting */ rcu_nmi_enter() inlining rcu_nmi_enter_common(nmi) /* A conditional branch with ->dynticks_nmi_nesting */ rcu_nmi_exit() inlining rcu_nmi_exit_common(nmi) /* A conditional branch with ->dynticks_nmi_nesting */ Suggested-by: Paul E.
