[PATCH v17 02/21] mm/page_idle: no unlikely double check for idle page counting

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

 



As func comments mentioned, few isolated page missing be tolerated.
So why not do further to drop the unlikely double check. That won't
cause more idle pages, but reduce a lock contention.

This is also a preparation for later new page isolation feature.
