xfs: avoid unnecessary runtime sibling pointer endian conversions
[ Upstream commit 5672225e ] Commit dc04db2a has caused a small aim7 regression, showing a small increase in CPU usage in __xfs_btree_check_sblock() as a result of the extra checking. This is likely due to the endian conversion of the sibling poitners being unconditional instead of relying on the compiler to endian convert the NULL pointer at compile time and avoiding the runtime conversion for this common case. Rework the checks so that endian conversion of the sibling pointers is only done if they are not null as the original code did. .... and these need to be "inline" because the compiler completely fails to inline them automatically like it should be doing. $ size fs/xfs/libxfs/xfs_btree.o* text data bss dec hex filename 51874 240 0 52114 cb92 fs/xfs/libxfs/xfs_btree.o.orig 51562 240 0 51802 ca5a fs/xfs/libxfs/xfs_btree.o.inline Just when you think the tools have advanced sufficiently we don't have to care about stuff like this anymore, along comes a reminder that *our tools still suck*.
