Subject: mm/page_alloc: avoid second trylock of zone->lock
X-Git-Tag: v6.15-rc3~43^2~23
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=c5bb27e2da3a6e1006f3e0aeb36d57c1dd1144aa;p=thirdparty%2Flinux.git

mm/page_alloc: avoid second trylock of zone->lock

spin_trylock followed by spin_lock will cause extra write cache access.
If the lock is contended it may cause unnecessary cache line bouncing and
will execute redundant irq restore/save pair.  Therefore, check
alloc/fpi_flags first and use spin_trylock or spin_lock.
