{slub, slob}: use unlikely() for kfree(ZERO_OR_NULL_PTR) check
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Considering kfree(NULL) would normally occur only in error paths and
kfree(ZERO_SIZE_PTR) is uncommon as well, so let's use unlikely() for the
condition check in SLUB's and SLOB's kfree() to optimize for the common
case.  SLAB has this already.
