From 128fb95650b3273a8dc9ba5514b6fe7db8ea30bf Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Oleg Nesterov Date: Wed, 6 Dec 2006 20:36:50 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] [PATCH] taskstats_exit_alloc: optimize/simplify If there are no listeners, every task does unneeded kmem_cache alloc/free on exit. We don't need listeners->sem for 'if (!list_empty())' check. Yes, we may have a false positive, but this doesn't differ from the case when the listener is unregistered after we drop the semaphore. So we don't need to do allocation beforehand.
