Subject[PATCH v3 2/6] mm/huge_memory.c: make get_huge_zero_page() return bool
Date
It's guaranteed that huge_zero_page will not be NULL if huge_zero_refcount
is increased successfully. When READ_ONCE(huge_zero_page) is returned,
there must be a huge_zero_page and it can be replaced with returning 'true'
when we do not care about the value of huge_zero_page. We can thus make it
return bool to save READ_ONCE cpu cycles as the return value is just used
to check if huge_zero_page exists.
