From ce76f9a1d9a21c2633dcd2a5605f923286e16e1d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jesper Dangaard Brouer Date: Thu, 29 Apr 2021 23:01:51 -0700 Subject: mm/page_alloc: optimize code layout for __alloc_pages_bulk Looking at perf-report and ASM-code for __alloc_pages_bulk() it is clear that the code activated is suboptimal. The compiler guesses wrong and places unlikely code at the beginning. Due to the use of WARN_ON_ONCE() macro the UD2 asm instruction is added to the code, which confuse the I-cache prefetcher in the CPU.
