From: Mel Gorman Date: Sat, 10 Feb 2007 09:42:57 +0000 (-0800) Subject: [PATCH] Avoid excessive sorting of early_node_map[] X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=a6af2bc3d5ce8722b9d09c5bdd5383c91c419653;p=GitHub%2Fmt8127%2Fandroid_kernel_alcatel_ttab.git [PATCH] Avoid excessive sorting of early_node_map[] find_min_pfn_for_node() and find_min_pfn_with_active_regions() sort early_node_map[] on every call. This is an excessive amount of sorting and that can be avoided. This patch always searches the whole early_node_map[] in find_min_pfn_for_node() instead of returning the first value found. The map is then only sorted once when required. Successfully boot tested on a number of machines.
