FW: [PATCH] drm: should break if already get the best size

[Liu, Monk]

What do you mean the first in the chain ? and also can you explain the " perfect match." ? thanks 

Assume there is couple nodes equal to the size you requested, without this patch it will traveler to the bottom level of the RB tree and gives you
the node that close to the bottom level, which takes more time compared with break on the first node, but anyway you eventually get the node with the same size 

if there is no node that equal to the size you requested, without or with my patch the logic is totally the same.

No. The point is to find the first in the chain that matches because not every node is suitable. By not checking all best_sizes you may end up skipping the perfect match.
