From d3aec34466d9d6c8ceaa7f95088ced5705823735 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Joonsoo Kim Date: Thu, 9 Oct 2014 15:26:06 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] mm/slab: noinline __ac_put_obj() Our intention of __ac_put_obj() is that it doesn't affect anything if sk_memalloc_socks() is disabled. But, because __ac_put_obj() is too small, compiler inline it to ac_put_obj() and affect code size of free path. This patch add noinline keyword for __ac_put_obj() not to distrupt normal free path at all. nm -S slab-orig.o | grep -e "t cache_alloc_refill" -e "T kfree" -e "T kmem_cache_free" 0000000000001e80 00000000000002f5 t cache_alloc_refill 0000000000001230 0000000000000258 T kfree 0000000000000690 000000000000024c T kmem_cache_free nm -S slab-patched.o | grep -e "t cache_alloc_refill" -e "T kfree" -e "T kmem_cache_free" 0000000000001e00 00000000000002e5 t cache_alloc_refill 00000000000011e0 0000000000000228 T kfree 0000000000000670 0000000000000216 T kmem_cache_free cache_alloc_refill: 0x2f5->0x2e5 kfree: 0x256->0x228 kmem_cache_free: 0x24c->0x216 code size of each function is reduced slightly.
