Ilias Stamatis 6fb3acdebf Reinstate "resource: avoid unnecessary lookups in find_next_iomem_res()"
Commit 97523a4edb ("kernel/resource: remove first_lvl / siblings_only
logic") removed an optimization introduced by commit 756398750e
("resource: avoid unnecessary lookups in find_next_iomem_res()").  That
was not called out in the message of the first commit explicitly so it's
not entirely clear whether removing the optimization happened
inadvertently or not.

As the original commit message of the optimization explains there is no
point considering the children of a subtree in find_next_iomem_res() if
the top level range does not match.

Reinstating the optimization results in performance improvements in
systems where /proc/iomem is ~5k lines long.  Calling mmap() on /dev/mem
in such platforms takes 700-1500μs without the optimisation and 10-50μs
with the optimisation.

Note that even though commit 97523a4edb removed the 'sibling_only'
parameter from next_resource(), newer kernels have basically reinstated it
under the name 'skip_children'.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
