From 4ddfef7b41aebbbede73f361cb938800ba3072dc Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Sandeen Date: Tue, 29 Apr 2008 08:11:12 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] ext4: reduce mballoc stack usage with noinline_for_stack mballoc.c is a whole lot of static functions, which gcc seems to really like to inline. With the changes below, on x86, I can at least get from: 432 ext4_mb_new_blocks 240 ext4_mb_free_blocks 208 ext4_mb_discard_group_preallocations 188 ext4_mb_seq_groups_show 164 ext4_mb_init_cache 152 ext4_mb_release_inode_pa 136 ext4_mb_seq_history_show ... to 220 ext4_mb_free_blocks 188 ext4_mb_seq_groups_show 176 ext4_mb_regular_allocator 164 ext4_mb_init_cache 156 ext4_mb_new_blocks 152 ext4_mb_release_inode_pa 136 ext4_mb_seq_history_show 124 ext4_mb_release_group_pa ... which still has some big functions in there, but not 432 bytes!
