You're not missing anything as far as the logic is concerned.

However see the __always_inline, I added "notify_drop" purely to
optimize away such branch at build time so that gcc doesn't need to
include in every different copy it does of it. "notify_drop" is known
at build time and constant true/false, the other variables are not.

Either you drop the __always_inline or "notify_drop" makes sense to me
to keep to reduce the size of the inline and run faster at runtime.

Thanks,
Andrea
