Subject: [PATCH 2/2] mm/swap: Remove lock_initialized flag from swap_slots_cache
Date: Fri, 21 Jul 2017 15:45:01 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <867d1fb070644e6d5f0ac7780f63e75259b82cc3.1500677066.git.tim.c.chen@linux.intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <65a9d0f133f63e66bba37b53b2fd0464b7cae771.1500677066.git.tim.c.chen@linux.intel.com>
In-Reply-To: <65a9d0f133f63e66bba37b53b2fd0464b7cae771.1500677066.git.tim.c.chen@linux.intel.com>

We will only reach the lock initialization code
in alloc_swap_slot_cache when the cpu's swap_slots_cache's slots
have not been allocated and swap_slots_cache has not been initialized
previously.  So the lock_initialized check is redundant and unnecessary.
Remove lock_initialized flag from swap_slots_cache to save memory.
