Its filename is mm-memory_hotplug-avoid-calling-zone_intersects-for-zone_normal.patch This patch should soon appear at https://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmots/broken-out/mm-memory_hotplug-avoid-calling-zone_intersects-for-zone_normal.patch and later at https://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmotm/broken-out/mm-memory_hotplug-avoid-calling-zone_intersects-for-zone_normal.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/process/submit-checklist.rst when testing your code *** The -mm tree is included into linux-next and is updated there every 3-4 working days ------------------------------------------------------ From: Miaohe Lin <linmiaohe@xxxxxxxxxx> Subject: mm/memory_hotplug: avoid calling zone_intersects() for ZONE_NORMAL If zid reaches ZONE_NORMAL, the caller will always get the NORMAL zone no matter what zone_intersects() returns. So we can save some possible cpu cycles by avoid calling zone_intersects() for ZONE_NORMAL.
