Patch series "rbree: inline rb_first() and rb_last()". Inline these two small helpers, heavily used in TCP and FQ packet scheduler, and in many other places. This reduces kernel text size, and brings an 1.5 % improvement on network TCP stress test. This patch (of 2): This is a very small function, inlining it saves cpu cycles by reducing register pressure and removing call/ret overhead. It also reduces vmlinux text size by 744 bytes on a typical x86_64 build.

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.
