Subject: [PATCH 3/3] mm, page_alloc: reduce static keys in prep_new_page()
Date: Mon, 26 Oct 2020 18:33:58 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20201026173358.14704-4-vbabka@suse.cz> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20201026173358.14704-1-vbabka@suse.cz>

prep_new_page() will always zero a new page (regardless of __GFP_ZERO) when
init_on_alloc is enabled, but will also always skip zeroing if the page was
already zeroed on free by init_on_free or page poisoning.

The latter check implemented by free_pages_prezeroed() can involve two
different static keys. As prep_new_page() is really a hot path, let's introduce
a single static key free_pages_not_prezeroed for this purpose and initialize it
in init_mem_debugging().
