kernel/pid.c: improve flow of a loop inside alloc_pidmap.
find_next_offset() searches for an available "cleaned bit" in the respective pid bitmap (page), so returns the offset if found, otherwise it returns a value equals to BITS_PER_PAGE. For example, suppose find_next_offset didn't find any available bit, so there's no purpose to call mk_pid (Wasteful Cpu Cycles). Therefore, I found it could be better to call mk_pid after the checking (offset < BITS_PER_PAGE) returned sucessfully! Another point: If (offset < BITS_PER_PAGE) results in a "failure", then mk_pid would be called again afterwards. [akpm@linux-foundation.org: simplify code] Signed-off-by: Raphael S.
