mm/mmzone.c: swap likely to unlikely as code logic is different for next_zones_zonelist()
Commit 682a3385e773 ("mm, page_alloc: inline the fast path of the
zonelist iterator") changed how next_zones_zonelist() is called, by
adding a static inline function to do the fast path. This function
adds:
if (likely(!nodes && zonelist_zone_idx(z) <= highest_zoneidx))
return z;
return __next_zones_zonelist(z, highest_zoneidx, nodes);
Where __next_zones_zonelist() is only called when nodes is not NULL or
zonelist_zone_idx(z) is less than highest_zoneidx.
The original next_zone_zonelist() was converted to __next_zones_zonelist()
but it still maintained:
if (likely(nodes == NULL))
Which is now actually a very unlikely, as it is only called with nodes
equal to NULL when zonelist_zone_idx(z) is greater than highest_zoneidx.
Before this commit, this if had this statistic:
correct incorrect % Function File Line
------- --------- - -------- ---- ----
837895 446078 34 next_zones_zonelist mmzone.c 63
After this commit, it has:
correct incorrect % Function File Line
------- --------- - -------- ---- ----
10 173840 99 __next_zones_zonelist mmzone.c 63
Thus, the if statement is now much more unlikely than it ever was as a
likely.
