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.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
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.
