[PATCH 1/1] mm/mmap: optimize a branch judgment in ksys_mmap_pgoff()

From: Zhen Lei
Date: Sun Jul 05 2020 - 04:01:50 EST


Look at the pseudo code below. It's very clear that, the judgement
"!is_file_hugepages(file)" at 3) is duplicated to the one at 1), we can
use "else if" to avoid it. And the assignment "retval = -EINVAL" at 2)
is only needed by the branch 3), because "retval" will be overwritten
at 4).

No functional change, but it can reduce the code size. Maybe more clearer?
Before:
text data bss dec hex filename
28733 1590 1 30324 7674 mm/mmap.o

After:
text data bss dec hex filename
28701 1590 1 30292 7654 mm/mmap.o

====pseudo code====:
if (!(flags & MAP_ANONYMOUS)) {
...
1) if (is_file_hugepages(file))
len = ALIGN(len, huge_page_size(hstate_file(file)));
2) retval = -EINVAL;
3) if (unlikely(flags & MAP_HUGETLB && !is_file_hugepages(file)))
goto out_fput;
} else if (flags & MAP_HUGETLB) {
...
}
...

4) retval = vm_mmap_pgoff(file, addr, len, prot, flags, pgoff);
out_fput:
...
return retval;
