[PATCH -mm] fs/bio.c: tweaks

From: Andreas Mohr
Date: Thu Aug 31 2006 - 17:17:30 EST


Calculate a variable in bvec_alloc_bs() only once needed, not earlier
(bio.o down from 18408 to 18376 Bytes, 32 Bytes saved, probably due to
data locality improvements).
Init variable idx to silence a gcc warning which already existed in the
unmodified original base file (bvec_alloc_bs() handles idx
correctly, so there's no need for the warning):
fs/bio.c: In function `bio_alloc_bioset':
fs/bio.c:169: warning: `idx' may be used uninitialized in this function
Inline bio_set_map_data() since it's only called once.

Compile-tested and run-tested on 2.6.18-rc4-mm3.
