[PATCH] SLUB: Fix __GFP_ZERO unlikely() annotation
From: Pekka Enberg
Date: Wed Nov 25 2009 - 13:21:41 EST
The unlikely() annotation in slab_alloc() covers too much of the expression.
It's actually very likely that the object is not NULL so use unlikely() only
for the __GFP_ZERO expression like SLAB does.
The patch reduces kernel text by 29 bytes on x86-64:
