From: Kaixu Xia Date: Tue, 27 Jan 2015 09:55:12 +0000 (+0800) Subject: perf: Remove the extra validity check on nr_pages X-Git-Tag: v4.1-rc1~143^2~66^2~5 X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=74390aa55678;p=karo-tx-linux.git perf: Remove the extra validity check on nr_pages The function is_power_of_2() also do the check on nr_pages, so the first check performed is unnecessary. On the other hand, the key point is to ensure @nr_pages is a power-of-two number and mostly @nr_pages is a nonzero value, so in the most cases, the function is_power_of_2() will be called.
