Subject: [PATCH] mm: Remove unlikely from the current_order test
Date: Tue, 18 Jun 2013 06:06:24 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <51BF8860.7010909@gmail.com> (raw)
From: Zhang Yanfei <zhangyanfei@cn.fujitsu.com>
In __rmqueue_fallback(), current_order loops down from MAX_ORDER - 1
to the order passed. MAX_ORDER is typically 11 and pageblock_order
is typically 9 on x86. Integer division truncates, so pageblock_order / 2
is 4. For the first eight iterations, it's guaranteed that
current_order >= pageblock_order / 2 if it even gets that far!
So just remove the unlikely(), it's completely bogus.
