From: Zhang Yanfei Date: Mon, 8 Jul 2013 23:00:08 +0000 (-0700) Subject: mm/page_alloc.c: remove unlikely() from the current_order test X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=345606d42971fc4ed164fbabac118708d51b8e0a;p=linux-beck.git mm/page_alloc.c: remove unlikely() from the current_order test 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.
