The routine gets called for every path component during lookup. ->i_mode is going to be cached on account of permission checks, while ->i_rdev is an area which is most likely cache-cold. gcc 14.2 is kind enough to emit one branch: movzwl (%rbx),%eax mov %eax,%edx and $0xb000,%dx cmp $0x2000,%dx je 11bc <inode_permission+0xec> This patch is lazy in that I don't know if the ->i_rdev branch makes any sense with the newly added mode check upfront. I am not changing any semantics here though.
