mm, page_alloc: don't check cpuset allowed twice in fast-path
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Since commit 682a338 ("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.
