Use device pointer (dev) to simplify the code and to avoid double indirections, especially on the hot path. Basically, instead of accessing priv to get the ofdev reference and then accessing the ofdev structure to dereference the needed dev pointer, we will get the dev pointer directly from priv. The dev pointer is required on the hot path, see gfar_new_rxbdp or gfar_clean_rx_ring (or xmit), and this patch makes it available directly from priv's 1st cacheline. This change is reflected at asm level too, taking (the hot) gfar_new_rxbdp(): initial version - 18c0: 7c 7e 1b 78 mr r30,r3 18d0: 81 69 04 3c lwz r11,1084(r9) 18d8: 34 6b 00 10 addic. r3,r11,16 18dc: 41 82 00 08 beq- 18e4 patched version - 18d0: 80 69 04 38 lwz r3,1080(r9) 18d8: 2f 83 00 00 cmpwi cr7,r3,0 18dc: 41 9e 00 08 beq- cr7,18e4 Signed-off-by:
