mm/mmzone.c: swap likely to unlikely as code logic is different for next_zones_zonelist()
Commit 682a3385e773 ("mm, page_alloc: inline the fast path of the zonelist iterator") changed how next_zones_zonelist() is called, by adding a static inline function to do the fast path. This function adds: if (likely(!nodes && zonelist_zone_idx(z) <= highest_zoneidx)) return z; return __next_zones_zonelist(z, highest_zoneidx, nodes); Where __next_zones_zonelist() is only called when nodes is not NULL or zonelist_zone_idx(z) is less than highest_zoneidx. The original next_zone_zonelist() was converted to __next_zones_zonelist() but it still maintained: if (likely(nodes == NULL)) Which is now actually a very unlikely, as it is only called with nodes equal to NULL when zonelist_zone_idx(z) is greater than highest_zoneidx. Before this commit, this if had this statistic: correct incorrect % Function File Line ------- --------- - -------- ---- ---- 837895 446078 34 next_zones_zonelist mmzone.c 63 After this commit, it has: correct incorrect % Function File Line ------- --------- - -------- ---- ---- 10 173840 99 __next_zones_zonelist mmzone.c 63 Thus, the if statement is now much more unlikely than it ever was as a likely.
