[PATCHv3 5/6] efi_mem_sort: use list_for_each_entry_safe instead
rs at ti.com
rs at ti.com
Mon Apr 13 22:35:54 CEST 2026
From: Randolph Sapp <rs at ti.com>
Use list_for_each_entry_safe and comparisons against the current and
next efi_mem_desc. This reduces the computation required for merging
regions, prevents unnecessary additional iterations of the list, and
requires less temporary values.
