[PATCH 2/3] mm/page_alloc: remove unnecessary check in break_down_buddy_pages
Posted by Kemeng Shi 2 years, 6 months ago
1. We always have target in range started with next_page and full free
range started with current_buddy.
2. The last splited range size is 1 << low and low should be >= 0, then
size >= 1, then page + size and page will not interleave.
As summary, current_page will not equal to target page.
