Hi Ingo: I noticed that local_bh_disable is now always out-of-line. The change was made when TRACE_IRQFLAGS was added. However, with TRACE_IRQFLAGS off, local_bh_disable does exactly the same work as before. In particular, it does pretty much the same as what preempt_disable does and the latter is always inline.
So I'm wondering if it would be reasonable to make it out-of-line when TRACE_IRQFLAGS is off. This may make a difference because the networking stack is a frequent user of local_bh_disable and local_bh_enable.
