Message-ID: <4D3DB238.80804@coly.li> Date: Tue, 25 Jan 2011 01:09:12 +0800 From: Coly Li <i@...y.li> To: linux-ext4@...r.kernel.org Subject: [PATCH] mballoc: don't change cpa if cur_distance is equal to new_distance In ext4_mb_check_group_pa(), cur_distance is selected to return only when it's smaller than new_distance, this is unreasonable. If cur_distance is equal to new_distance, current code will return new_distance to update cpa from ext4_mb_use_preallocated(), which is unnecessary and a wast of CPU cycles. This patch makes new_distance to return only when it's smaller then cur_distance, which avoids unnecessary cpa update in ext4_mb_use_preallocated().
