[PATCH v2 2/2] mm, page_alloc: avoid page_to_pfn() when merging buddies

From: Vlastimil Babka
Date: Fri Dec 16 2016 - 07:02:04 EST


On architectures that allow memory holes, page_is_buddy() has to perform
page_to_pfn() to check for the memory hole. After the previous patch, we have
the pfn already available in __free_one_page(), which is the only caller of
page_is_buddy(), so move the check there and avoid page_to_pfn().
