PATCH 1/1 mm/dmapool.c: micro-optimisation remove unnecessary branch
From: Mateusz Nosek <[email protected]>
Previously there was a check if 'size' is aligned to 'align' and if not then it was aligned. This check was expensive as both branch and division are expensive instructions in most architectures.
'ALIGN' function on already aligned value will not change it, and as it is cheaper than branch + division it can be executed all the time and branch can be removed.
