Given the patches being busily submitted by trivial patch submitters to make use kmem_cache_zalloc(), et. al, I believe we should remove the unlikely() tests around the (gfp_flags & __GFP_ZERO) tests, such as: - if (unlikely((flags & __GFP_ZERO) && objp)) + if ((flags & __GFP_ZERO) && objp) memset(objp, 0, obj_size(cachep)); Agreed? If so, I'll send a patch... - Ted -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxx For more info on Linux MM, see: http://www.linux-mm.org/ .
