Subject: [slubllv7 16/17] slub: Not necessary to check for empty slab on load_freelist
Date: Wed, 01 Jun 2011 12:25:59 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20110601172620.978626828@linux.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20110601172543.437240675@linux.com
[-- Attachment #1: goto_load_freelist --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 870 bytes --]
load_freelist is now only branched to only if there are objects available.
So no need to check the object variable for NULL.
