Subject: [PATCH v2] rust: sync: inline various lock related methods
Date: Thu, 18 Dec 2025 12:10:23 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251218-inline-lock-unlock-v2-1-fbadac8bd61b@google.com> (raw)
While debugging a different issue [1], I inspected a rust_binder.ko file
and noticed the following relocation:
R_AARCH64_CALL26 _RNvXNtNtNtCsdfZWD8DztAw_6kernel4sync4lock8spinlockNtB2_15SpinLockBackendNtB4_7Backend6unlock
This relocation (and a similar one for lock) occurred many times
throughout the module. That is not really useful because all this
function does is call spin_unlock(), so what we actually want here is
that a call to spin_unlock() dirctly is generated in favor of this
wrapper method.
Thus, mark these methods inline.
