Message-ID: <1422352512-75150-1-git-send-email-xiakaixu@huawei.com> Date: Tue, 27 Jan 2015 17:55:12 +0800 From: Kaixu Xia <xiakaixu@...wei.com> To: <a.p.zijlstra@...llo.nl>, <paulus@...ba.org>, <mingo@...hat.com>, <acme@...nel.org> CC: <linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org>, <xiakaixu@...wei.com>, <kaixu.xia@...aro.org> Subject: [PATCH] perf: remove the extra validity check on nr_pages The function is_power_of_2() also do the check on nr_pages, so the first check performed is unnecessary. On the other hand, the key point is to ensure @nr_pages is a power-of-two number and mostly @nr_pages is a nonzero value, so in the most cases, the function is_power_of_2() will be called.
