From: Mateusz Nosek <mateusznosek0@xxxxxxxxx> Subject: mm/compaction.c: micro-optimization remove unnecessary branch The same code can work both for 'zone->compact_considered > defer_limit' and 'zone->compact_considered >= defer_limit'. In the latter there is one branch less which is more effective considering performance.
