Subject: [PATCH 2/2] mm/userfaultfd: fix wrong likely() hint on mmap_changing check in move_pages()
Date: Sat, 28 Mar 2026 17:01:01 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260328170101.184163-2-devnexen@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260328170101.184163-1-devnexen@gmail.com>
The mmap_changing check in move_pages() uses likely() but the condition
being true (concurrent mapping changes during UFFDIO_MOVE) is the
exceptional case, not the common one. All other mmap_changing checks in
the same file correctly use no branch hint or use unlikely().
Replace likely() with unlikely() to match the expected branch behavior.
