[PATCH] mm: Do not allocate duplicate stack variables in shrink_page_list()
From: Kirill Tkhai
Date: Thu Jan 31 2019 - 10:37:11 EST
On path shrink_inactive_list() ---> shrink_page_list()
we allocate stack variables for the statistics twice.
This is completely useless, and this just consumes stack
much more, then we really need.
The patch kills duplicate stack variables from shrink_page_list(),
and this reduce stack usage and object file size significantly:
Stack usage:
Before: vmscan.c:1122:22:shrink_page_list 648 static
After: vmscan.c:1122:22:shrink_page_list 616 static
Size of vmscan.o:
text data bss dec hex filename
Before: 56866 4720 128 61714 f112 mm/vmscan.o
After: 56770 4720 128 61618 f0b2 mm/vmscan.o
