[PATCH] libnvdimm, region_devs: stop NDD_ALIASING bit test if one test pass

From: Ocean He
Date: Sun Aug 19 2018 - 00:01:51 EST


From: Ocean He <hehy1@xxxxxxxxxx>

There is no need to finish entire loop to execute NDD_ALIASING bit test
against every nvdimm->flags. In practice, all the nd_mapping->nvdimm
have the same flags.

Because the check of alias is "if (alias)" but not
"if (alias == nd_region->ndr_mappings)", there is no function change while
just save a few cycles.

A test to check if all the nd_mapping->nvdimm have the same flags, using
Lenovo ThinkSystem SR630 and 4.18-rc6.
