The patch titled Subject: mm/memblock.c: trivial code refine in memblock_is_region_memory() has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is mm-memblockc-trivial-code-refine-in-memblock_is_region_memory.patch This patch should soon appear at http://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmots/broken-out/mm-memblockc-trivial-code-refine-in-memblock_is_region_memory.patch and later at http://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmotm/broken-out/mm-memblockc-trivial-code-refine-in-memblock_is_region_memory.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 <richard.weiyang@xxxxxxxxx> Subject: mm/memblock.c: trivial code refine in memblock_is_region_memory() memblock_is_region_memory() invoke memblock_search() to see whether the base address is in the memory region. If it fails, idx would be -1. Then, it returns 0. If the memblock_search() returns a valid index, it means the base address is guaranteed to be in the range memblock.memory.regions[idx]. Because of this, it is not necessary to check the base again. This patch removes the check on "base".
