  [PATCH 2/2] mm, page_alloc: don't check cpuset allowed twice in fast-path Vlastimil Babka <vbabka@suse.cz> - 2017-01-24 16:10 +0100

#1565920 — [PATCH 2/2] mm, page_alloc: don't check cpuset allowed twice in fast-path

Since commit 682a3385e773 ("mm, page_alloc: inline the fast path of the
zonelist iterator") we replace a NULL nodemask with cpuset_current_mems_allowed
in the fast path, so that get_page_from_freelist() filters nodes allowed by the
cpuset via for_next_zone_zonelist_nodemask(). In that case it's pointless to
additionaly check __cpuset_zone_allowed() in each iteration, which we can avoid
by not adding ALLOC_CPUSET to alloc_flags in that scenario.

This saves some cycles in the allocator fast path on systems with one or more
non-root cpuset configured. In the slow path, ALLOC_CPUSET is reset according
to __alloc_pages_slowpath(). Without configured cpusets, this code is disabled
by a static key.
