[PATCH v2] mm/hugetlb: avoid unnecessary hugetlb_acct_memory() call

From: Miaohe Lin
Date: Fri Jan 15 2021 - 04:21:15 EST


When gbl_reserve is 0, hugetlb_acct_memory() will do nothing except holding
and releasing hugetlb_lock. We should avoid this unnecessary hugetlb_lock
lock/unlock cycle which is happening on 'most' hugetlb munmap operations by
check delta against 0 at the beginning of hugetlb_acct_memory.
