[RFC PATCH 1/7] nvme: add __always_inline for nvme_pci_npages_prp

From: Chen Linxuan
Date: Fri Apr 11 2025 - 06:57:27 EST


From: Winston Wen <wentao@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

On x86_64 with gcc version 13.3.0, I build drivers/nvme/host/pci.c
with:

make defconfig
./scripts/kconfig/merge_config.sh .config <(
echo CONFIG_BLK_DEV_NVME=m
)
make KCFLAGS="-fno-inline-small-functions -fno-inline-functions-called-once" \
drivers/nvme/host/pci.o

Then I get a compile error:

CALL scripts/checksyscalls.sh
DESCEND objtool
INSTALL libsubcmd_headers
CC drivers/nvme/host/pci.o
In file included from <command-line>:
drivers/nvme/host/pci.c: In function 'nvme_init':
