[patch 02/10] mm: bootmem: remove redundant offset check when finally freeing bootmem

From: Johannes Weiner
Date: Mon May 07 2012 - 07:39:30 EST


When bootmem releases an unaligned BITS_PER_LONG pages chunk of memory
to the page allocator, it checks the bitmap if there are still
unreserved pages in the chunk (set bits), but also if the offset in
the chunk indicates BITS_PER_LONG loop iterations already.

But since the consulted bitmap is only a one-word-excerpt of the full
per-node bitmap, there can not be more than BITS_PER_LONG bits set in
it. The additional offset check is unnecessary.
