[PATCH] mm/sparse: return right away if sparsemap_buf is null
Posted by Leesoo Ahn 1 month, 1 week ago
sparse_buffer_fini(..) takes the following actions even though the value of
sparsemap_buf is NULL,
1. calculate size of sparsemap buffer (which is meaningless).
2. set sparsemap_buf variable to NULL (although it is already NULL).

These steps are unnecessary if the variable, sparsemap_buf is NULL.

Refactor the function to return right away if the variable is NULL.
Hence, it doesn't need to take further actions.

sparse_buffer_fini() is called a few times on init so saving a jump (if at
all) does not worth the churn.

Fair enough.

Any related to refactoring codebase will be unlikely to be taken into upstream??

BR,

Any reasonable cleanups or reasonable optimizations are welcome.

Micro-optimizations that effectively add code/LOC, not so much :)

Agreed, this is not worth the churn given there could be just a single
call instance for sparse_buffer_fini(), either in normal or error path
in sparse_init_nid().
