Subject: [PATCH] mm/dmapool.c: micro-optimisation remove unnecessary branch
Date: Fri, 20 Mar 2020 18:33:17 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200320173317.26408-1-mateusznosek0@gmail.com> (raw)
From: Mateusz Nosek <mateusznosek0@gmail.com>
Previously there was a check if 'size' is aligned to 'align' and if not
then it was aligned. This check was expensive as both branch and division
are expensive instructions in most architectures.
'ALIGN' function on already aligned value will not change it, and as it is
cheaper than branch + division it can be executed all the time and
branch can be removed.
