[PATCHv2] Make for_each_cpu_mask a bit smaller

From: Alexander van Heukelum
Date: Mon May 12 2008 - 15:04:03 EST


The for_each_cpu_mask loop is used quite often in the kernel. It
makes use of two functions: first_cpu and next_cpu. This patch
changes for_each_cpu_mask to use only the latter. Because next_cpu
finds the next eligible cpu _after_ the given one, the iteration
variable has to be initialized to -1 and next_cpu has to be
called with this value before the first iteration. An x86_64
defconfig kernel (from sched/latest) is about 2500 bytes smaller
with this patch applied:

6219922 917952 749932 7887806 785bbe vmlinux

The same size reduction is seen for defconfig+MAXSMP

Hello Mike, Ingo,

Here is a version of the for_each_cpu_mask change that applies on
top of sched/latest. I think it is non-intrusive enough to put
it in sched/latest?

This version reuses the already-existing api next_cpu instead
of inventing a new one; initializing the iteration counter to
-1 was suggested by Matthew Wilcox.

Greetings,
Alexander
