From a2197a01790bb7649bfd017348709c892220bf89 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mel Gorman Date: Wed, 14 May 2014 10:02:16 +1000 Subject: [PATCH] mm: page_alloc: only check the zone id check if pages are buddies A node/zone index is used to check if pages are compatible for merging but this happens unconditionally even if the buddy page is not free. Defer the calculation as long as possible. Ideally we would check the zone boundary but nodes can overlap.
