__d_lookup_rcu() is one of the hottest functions in the kernel on certain loads, and it is complicated by filesystems that might want to have their own name compare function. We can improve code generation by moving the test of DCACHE_OP_COMPARE outside the loop, which makes the loop itself much simpler, at the cost of some code duplication. But both cases end up being simpler, and the "native" direct case-sensitive compare particularly so.

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 Restructured Text 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.
