[PATCH 2/3] mm, page_alloc: pull out side effects from free_pages_check

From: Vlastimil Babka
Date: Wed Apr 27 2016 - 08:01:42 EST


Check without side-effects should be easier to maintain. It also removes the
duplicated cpupid and flags reset done in !DEBUG_VM variant of both
free_pcp_prepare() and then bulkfree_pcp_prepare(). Finally, it enables
the next patch.

It shouldn't result in new branches, thanks to inlining of the check.

!DEBUG_VM bloat-o-meter:

add/remove: 0/0 grow/shrink: 0/2 up/down: 0/-27 (-27)
function old new delta
__free_pages_ok 748 739 -9
free_pcppages_bulk 1403 1385 -18

DEBUG_VM:

add/remove: 0/0 grow/shrink: 0/1 up/down: 0/-28 (-28)
function old new delta
free_pages_prepare 806 778 -28
