[PATCH] mm: Place "not" inside of unlikely() statement in wb_domain_writeout_inc()

Show all headers | View raw

From: "Steven Rostedt (VMware)" <rostedt@goodmis.org>

The likely/unlikely profiler noticed that the unlikely statement in
wb_domain_writeout_inc() is constantly wrong. This is due to the "not" (!)
being outside the unlikely statement. It is likely that dom->period_time
will be set, but unlikely that it wont be. Move the not into the unlikely
statement.
