[PATCH 19/22] mm, page_alloc: Avoid looking up the first zone in a zonelist twice

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



The allocator fast path looks up the first usable zone in a zonelist
and then get_page_from_freelist does the same job in the zonelist
iterator. This patch preserves the necessary information.
