The two conditions are mutually exclusive and gcc compiler will optimise this into if-else-like pattern. Given that the majority of free_slowpath is free_frozen, let's provide some hint to the compilers. Tests (perf bench sched messaging -g 20 -l 400000, executed 10x after reboot) are done and the summarized result: un-patched patched max. 192.316 189.851 min. 187.267 186.252 avg. 189.154 188.086 stdev. 1.37 0.99 Signed-off-by: Abel Wu <wuyun.wu@huawei.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Acked-by: Christoph Lameter <cl@linux.com> Cc: Pekka Enberg <penberg@kernel.org> Cc: David Rientjes <rientjes@google.com> Cc: Joonsoo Kim <iamjoonsoo.kim@lge.com> Cc: Hewenliang <hewenliang4@huawei.com> Cc: Hu Shiyuan <hushiyuan@huawei.com> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20200813101812.1617-1-wuyun.wu@huawei.com Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Adam W.
