fib_trie: Remove checks for index >= tnode_child_length from tnode_get_child
For some reason the compiler doesn't seem to understand that when we are in a loop that runs from tnode_child_length - 1 to 0 we don't expect the value of tn->bits to change. As such every call to tnode_get_child was rerunning tnode_chile_length which ended up consuming quite a bit of space in the resultant assembly code. I have gone though and verified that in all cases where tnode_get_child is used we are either winding though a fixed loop from tnode_child_length - 1 to 0, or are in a fastpath case where we are verifying the value by either checking for any remaining bits after shifting index by bits and testing for leaf, or by using tnode_child_length. size net/ipv4/fib_trie.o Before: text data bss dec hex filename 15506 376 8 15890 3e12 net/ipv4/fib_trie.o After: text data bss dec hex filename 14827 376 8 15211 3b6b net/ipv4/fib_trie.o Signed-off-by: Alexander Duyck <alexander.h.duyck@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
