To install a buffer_head into the cpu's LRU queue, bh_lru_install() would construct a new copy of the queue and then memcpy it over the real queue. But it's easily possible to do the update in-place, which is faster and simpler. Some work can also be skipped if the buffer_head was already in the queue. As a microbenchmark I timed how long it takes to run sb_getblk() 10,000,000 times alternating between BH_LRU_SIZE + 1 blocks. Effectively, this benchmarks looking up buffer_heads that are in the page cache but not in the LRU: Before this patch: 1.758s After this patch: 1.653s This patch also removes about 350 bytes of compiled code (on x86_64), partly due to removal of the memcpy() which was being inlined+unrolled.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
