Subject: [PATCH 04/12] percpu: manage chunks based on contig_bits instead of free_bytes
Date: Wed, 27 Feb 2019 21:18:31 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20190228021839.55779-5-dennis@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20190228021839.55779-1-dennis@kernel.org>

When a chunk becomes fragmented, it can end up having a large number of
small allocation areas free. The free_bytes sorting of chunks leads to
unnecessary checking of chunks that cannot satisfy the allocation.
Switch to contig_bits sorting to prevent scanning chunks that may not be
able to service the allocation request.
