[PATCH] mm: Remove unlikely from the current_order test

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

 



From: Zhang Yanfei <zhangyanfei@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

In __rmqueue_fallback(), current_order loops down from MAX_ORDER - 1
to the order passed. MAX_ORDER is typically 11 and pageblock_order
is typically 9 on x86. Integer division truncates, so pageblock_order / 2
is 4.  For the first eight iterations, it's guaranteed that
current_order >= pageblock_order / 2 if it even gets that far!

So just remove the unlikely(), it's completely bogus.
