Subject: mm: page_alloc: do not update zlc unless the zlc is active
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=65bb371984d6a2c909244eb749e482bb40b72e36;p=linux-beck.git

mm: page_alloc: do not update zlc unless the zlc is active

The zlc is used on NUMA machines to quickly skip over zones that are full.
 However it is always updated, even for the first zone scanned when the
zlc might not even be active.  As it's a write to a bitmap that
potentially bounces cache line it's deceptively expensive and most
machines will not care.  Only update the zlc if it was active.
