Subject: [PATCH 1/1] memblock cleanup: Remove unnecessary check in memblock_find_in_range_node()
Date: Thu, 15 Aug 2013 11:23:19 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1376536999-4562-1-git-send-email-tangchen@cn.fujitsu.com> (raw)

In memblock_find_in_range_node(), it has the following check at line 117 and 118:

 113         for_each_free_mem_range_reverse(i, nid, &this_start, &this_end, NULL) {
 114                 this_start = clamp(this_start, start, end);
 115                 this_end = clamp(this_end, start, end);
 116
 117                 if (this_end < size)
 118                         continue;
 119
 120                 cand = round_down(this_end - size, align);
 121                 if (cand >= this_start)
 122                         return cand;
 123         }

Since it finds memory from higher memory downwards, if this_end < size,
we can break because the rest memory will all under size. It won't satisfy
us ang more.

Furthermore, we don't need to check "if (this_end < size)" actually. Without
this confusing check, we only waste some loops. So this patch removes the
check.
