mm, page_alloc: inline the fast path of the zonelist iterator
The page allocator iterates through a zonelist for zones that match the addressing limitations and nodemask of the caller but many allocations will not be restricted. Despite this, there is always functional call overhead which builds up. This patch inlines the optimistic basic case and only calls the iterator function for the complex case. A hindrance was the fact that cpuset_current_mems_allowed is used in the fastpath as the allowed nodemask even though all nodes are allowed on most systems. The patch handles this by only considering cpuset_current_mems_allowed if a cpuset exists. As well as being faster in the fast-path, this removes some junk in the slowpath. The performance difference on a page allocator microbenchmark is; 4.6.0-rc2 4.6.0-rc2 statinline-v1r20 optiter-v1r20 Min alloc-odr0-1 412.00 ( 0.00%) 382.00 ( 7.28%) Min alloc-odr0-2 301.00 ( 0.00%) 282.00 ( 6.31%) Min alloc-odr0-4 247.00 ( 0.00%) 233.00 ( 5.67%) Min alloc-odr0-8 215.00 ( 0.00%) 203.00 ( 5.58%) Min alloc-odr0-16 199.00 ( 0.00%) 188.00 ( 5.53%) Min alloc-odr0-32 191.00 ( 0.00%) 182.00 ( 4.71%) Min alloc-odr0-64 187.00 ( 0.00%) 177.00 ( 5.35%) Min alloc-odr0-128 185.00 ( 0.00%) 175.00 ( 5.41%) Min alloc-odr0-256 193.00 ( 0.00%) 184.00 ( 4.66%) Min alloc-odr0-512 207.00 ( 0.00%) 197.00 ( 4.83%) Min alloc-odr0-1024 213.00 ( 0.00%) 203.00 ( 4.69%) Min alloc-odr0-2048 220.00 ( 0.00%) 209.00 ( 5.00%) Min alloc-odr0-4096 226.00 ( 0.00%) 214.00 ( 5.31%) Min alloc-odr0-8192 229.00 ( 0.00%) 218.00 ( 4.80%) Min alloc-odr0-16384 229.00 ( 0.00%) 219.00 ( 4.37%) perf indicated that next_zones_zonelist disappeared in the profile and __next_zones_zonelist did not appear. This is expected as the micro-benchmark would hit the inlined fast-path every time.
