The patch titled Subject: mm/page_alloc.c: refine the calculation of highest possible node id has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is mm-page-refine-the-calculation-of-highest-possible-node-id.patch This patch should soon appear at http://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmots/broken-out/mm-page-refine-the-calculation-of-highest-possible-node-id.patch and later at http://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmotm/broken-out/mm-page-refine-the-calculation-of-highest-possible-node-id.patch Before you just go and hit "reply", please: a) Consider who else should be cc'ed b) Prefer to cc a suitable mailing list as well c) Ideally: find the original patch on the mailing list and do a reply-to-all to that, adding suitable additional cc's *** Remember to use Documentation/SubmitChecklist when testing your code *** The -mm tree is included into linux-next and is updated there every 3-4 working days ------------------------------------------------------ From: Wei Yang <weiyang@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: mm/page_alloc.c: refine the calculation of highest possible node id nr_node_ids records the highest possible node id, which is calculated by scanning the bitmap node_states[N_POSSIBLE]. Current implementation scan the bitmap from the beginning, which will scan the whole bitmap. This patch reverses the order by scanning from the end with find_last_bit().
