$ ./scripts/bloat-o-meter vmlinux vmlinux.new
add/remove: 1/0 grow/shrink: 1/1 up/down: 350/-256 (94)
Function                                     old     new   delta
vm_compaction                                  -     320    +320
kcompactd_init                               180     210     +30
vm_table                                    2112    1856    -256
Total: Before=21104198, After=21104292, chg +0.00%

In my environment, kcompactd_init increases by 30 instead of 26.
And proc_dointvec_minmax_warn_RT_change No expansion.
