From: Eric Sandeen Date: Mon, 6 Jul 2009 02:17:31 +0000 (-0400) Subject: ext4: mark several more functions in mballoc.c as noinline X-Git-Url: http://review.tizen.org/git/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=089ceecc1ea4a69ed8bcc5c7c7b96ce487e26b33;p=platform%2Fkernel%2Flinux-amlogic.git ext4: mark several more functions in mballoc.c as noinline Ted noticed a stack-deep callchain through writepages->ext4_mb_regular_allocator->ext4_mb_init_cache->submit_bh ... With all the static functions in mballoc.c, gcc helpfully inlines for us, and we get something like this: ext4_mb_regular_allocator (232 bytes stack) ext4_mb_init_cache (232 bytes stack) submit_bh (starts 464 deeper) the 2 ext4 functions here get several others inlined; by telling gcc not to inline them, we can save stack space for when we head off into submit_bh land and associated block layer callchains. The following noinlined functions are only called once, so this won't impact any other callchains: ext4_mb_regular_allocator (104) (was 232) ext4_mb_find_by_goal (56) (noinlined) ext4_mb_init_group (24) (noinlined) ext4_mb_init_cache (136) (was 232) ext4_mb_generate_buddy (88) (noinlined) ext4_mb_generate_from_pa (40) (noinlined) submit_bh ext4_mb_simple_scan_group (24) (noinlined) ext4_mb_scan_aligned (56) (noinlined) ext4_mb_complex_scan_group (40) (noinlined) ext4_mb_try_best_found (24) (noinlined) now when we head off into submit_bh() we're only 264 bytes deeper in stack than when we entered ext4_mb_regular_allocator() (vs. 464 bytes before). Every 200 bytes helps. :) Signed-off-by: Eric Sandeen Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" --- diff --git a/fs/ext4/mballoc.c b/fs/ext4/mballoc.c index 519a0a6..4a45efa 100644 --- a/fs/ext4/mballoc.c +++ b/fs/ext4/mballoc.c @@ -657,7 +657,8 @@ static void ext4_mb_mark_free_simple(struct super_block *sb, } } -static void ext4_mb_generate_buddy(struct super_block *sb, +static noinline_for_stack +void ext4_mb_generate_buddy(struct super_block *sb, void *buddy, void *bitmap, ext4_group_t group) { struct ext4_group_info *grp = ext4_get_group_info(sb, group); @@ -1480,7 +1481,8 @@ static void ext4_mb_measure_extent(struct ext4_allocation_context *ac, ext4_mb_check_limits(ac, e4b, 0); } -static int ext4_mb_try_best_found(struct ext4_allocation_context *ac, +static noinline_for_stack +int ext4_mb_try_best_found(struct ext4_allocation_context *ac, struct ext4_buddy *e4b) { struct ext4_free_extent ex = ac->ac_b_ex; @@ -1507,7 +1509,8 @@ static int ext4_mb_try_best_found(struct ext4_allocation_context *ac, return 0; } -static int ext4_mb_find_by_goal(struct ext4_allocation_context *ac, +static noinline_for_stack +int ext4_mb_find_by_goal(struct ext4_allocation_context *ac, struct ext4_buddy *e4b) { ext4_group_t group = ac->ac_g_ex.fe_group; @@ -1566,7 +1569,8 @@ static int ext4_mb_find_by_goal(struct ext4_allocation_context *ac, * The routine scans buddy structures (not bitmap!) from given order * to max order and tries to find big enough chunk to satisfy the req */ -static void ext4_mb_simple_scan_group(struct ext4_allocation_context *ac, +static noinline_for_stack +void ext4_mb_simple_scan_group(struct ext4_allocation_context *ac, struct ext4_buddy *e4b) { struct super_block *sb = ac->ac_sb; @@ -1609,7 +1613,8 @@ static void ext4_mb_simple_scan_group(struct ext4_allocation_context *ac, * In order to optimize scanning, caller must pass number of * free blocks in the group, so the routine can know upper limit. */ -static void ext4_mb_complex_scan_group(struct ext4_allocation_context *ac, +static noinline_for_stack +void ext4_mb_complex_scan_group(struct ext4_allocation_context *ac, struct ext4_buddy *e4b) { struct super_block *sb = ac->ac_sb; @@ -1668,7 +1673,8 @@ static void ext4_mb_complex_scan_group(struct ext4_allocation_context *ac, * we try to find stripe-aligned chunks for stripe-size requests * XXX should do so at least for multiples of stripe size as well */ -static void ext4_mb_scan_aligned(struct ext4_allocation_context *ac, +static noinline_for_stack +void ext4_mb_scan_aligned(struct ext4_allocation_context *ac, struct ext4_buddy *e4b) { struct super_block *sb = ac->ac_sb; @@ -1831,7 +1837,8 @@ void ext4_mb_put_buddy_cache_lock(struct super_block *sb, } -static int ext4_mb_init_group(struct super_block *sb, ext4_group_t group) +static noinline_for_stack +int ext4_mb_init_group(struct super_block *sb, ext4_group_t group) { int ret; @@ -3457,7 +3464,8 @@ static void ext4_mb_generate_from_freelist(struct super_block *sb, void *bitmap, * used in in-core bitmap. buddy must be generated from this bitmap * Need to be called with ext4 group lock held */ -static void ext4_mb_generate_from_pa(struct super_block *sb, void *bitmap, +static noinline_for_stack +void ext4_mb_generate_from_pa(struct super_block *sb, void *bitmap, ext4_group_t group) { struct ext4_group_info *grp = ext4_get_group_info(sb, group);
