Subject: [PATCH 5/6] mm, page_alloc: pull out side effects from free_pages_check
Date: Wed, 27 Apr 2016 15:57:22 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1461769043-28337-6-git-send-email-mgorman@techsingularity.net> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1461769043-28337-1-git-send-email-mgorman@techsingularity.net>

Check without side-effects should be easier to maintain. It also removes the
duplicated cpupid and flags reset done in !DEBUG_VM variant of both
free_pcp_prepare() and then bulkfree_pcp_prepare(). Finally, it enables
the next patch.

It shouldn't result in new branches, thanks to inlining of the check.

!DEBUG_VM bloat-o-meter:

add/remove: 0/0 grow/shrink: 0/2 up/down: 0/-27 (-27)
function                                     old     new   delta
__free_pages_ok                              748     739      -9
free_pcppages_bulk                          1403    1385     -18

DEBUG_VM:

add/remove: 0/0 grow/shrink: 0/1 up/down: 0/-28 (-28)
function                                     old     new   delta
free_pages_prepare                           806     778     -28

This is also slightly faster because cpupid information is not set on tail
pages so we can avoid resets there.
