The patch titled Subject: mm/mmap: optimize a branch judgment in ksys_mmap_pgoff() has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was mm-mmap-optimize-a-branch-judgment-in-ksys_mmap_pgoff.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree ------------------------------------------------------ From: Zhen Lei <thunder.leizhen@xxxxxxxxxx> Subject: mm/mmap: optimize a branch judgment in ksys_mmap_pgoff() Look at the pseudo code below. It's very clear that, the judgement "!is_file_hugepages(file)" at 3) is duplicated to the one at 1), we can use "else if" to avoid it. And the assignment "retval = -EINVAL" at 2) is only needed by the branch 3), because "retval" will be overwritten at 4). No functional change, but it can reduce the code size. Maybe more clearer?
