Subject: mm/page_alloc: remove unnecessary check in break_down_buddy_pages
Date: Wed, 27 Sep 2023 18:35:13 +0800
Patch series "Two minor cleanups to break_down_buddy_pages", v2.
Two minor cleanups to break_down_buddy_pages.
This patch (of 2):
1. We always have target in range started with next_page and full free
range started with current_buddy.
2. The last split range size is 1 << low and low should be >= 0, then
size >= 1. So page + size != page is always true (because size > 0).
As summary, current_page will not equal to target page.
