[PATCH 3/7] [v2] zram/xvmalloc: free bit block insertionoptimization

From: Robert Jennings
Date: Fri Jan 28 2011 - 09:59:00 EST


This change is in a conditional block which is entered only when there is
an existing data block on the freelist where the insert has taken place.

The new block is pushed onto the freelist stack and this conditional block
is updating links in the prior stack head to point to the new stack head.
After this conditional block the first-/second-level indices are updated
to indicate that there is a free block at this location.

This patch adds an immediate return from the conditional block to avoid
setting bits again to indicate a free block on this freelist. The bits
would already be set because there was an existing free block on this
freelist.
