[PATCH 1/2] ksm: Initial the addr only once in rmap_walk_ksm

From: xu.xin16

Date: Mon Jan 12 2026 - 09:06:38 EST


From: xu xin <xu.xin16@xxxxxxxxxx>

This is a minor performance optimization, especially when there are many
for-loop iterations, because the addr variable doesn’t change across
iterations.

Therefore, it only needs to be initialized once before the loop.
