It doesn't.

Fork is only a 'really hot path' if you have a fork bomb running. The
scheduler is a really hot path (which Suspend2 patches don't touch, by the
way).

The change in the page allocation routine follows a comment saying "This is
the last chance, in general, before the goto nopage." It adds one further
test to the four already done at that point.

Regards,

Nigel
