[PATCH] mm: simple approach to calculate combined index of adjacent buddy lists

From: KyongHo Cho
Date: Wed Dec 22 2010 - 08:47:43 EST


The previous approach of calucation of combined index was

page_idx & ~(1 << order))

but we have same result with

page_idx & buddy_idx
.

I think this reduces instructions slightly as well as enhances readability.
