Well, that's unfortunate.

No, I think CONFIG_SLUB_TINY should probably have a

     depends on !COMPILE_TEST

or something like that instead.

It already has a

        depends on SLUB && EXPERT

which is basically supposed to disable it for any normal builds, but
obviously allmodconfig will enable EXPERT etc anyway.

That said, that f2fs case also sounds like this code triggers the
compiler being unhappy, so it might be worth having some clarification
from the f2fs people.

I'm not sure what triggers that problem just on powerpc, and only with
that CONFIG_SLUB_TINY option. Maybe those make_dentry_ptr_inline() and
make_dentry_ptr_block() functions don't get inlined in that case, and
that then makes gcc not see the values for those bitmap sizes?

Does changing the "inline" to "always_inline" perhaps fix the compiler
unpahhiness too?

Yeah. PeterZ?

Kees? This indeed seems counter-productive..
