The custom swap functions used in ocfs2 do not perform any special operations and can be replaced with the built-in swap function of sort. This change not only reduces code size but also improves efficiency, especially in scenarios where CONFIG_RETPOLINE is enabled, as it makes indirect function calls more expensive. By using the built-in swap, we avoid these costly indirect function calls, leading to better performance.

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.
