Subject[PATCH] [RFC] CFQ: simplify radix tree lookup in cfq_cic_lookup()
From
Date
0) Not tested and not signed-off.

1) This is to see whether I understand the cfqd->cic_index usage (at
least, part of it).

2) If the lookup of a cic in the radix tree turned up a "dead" cic, then
that cic will be dropped. There's no reason to again try to lookup that
cic: that lookup should return NULL. (If it doesn't return NULL, we seem
to be in trouble.) So there's no need for a do {[...]} while (1) loop
and this code can be simplified a little.

3) Does this make sense?
