Subject: [PATCH v2] mm/vmscan.c: wrap five parameters into shrink_result for reducing the stack consumption
shrink_page_list() has too many arguments that have already reached ten.
Some of those arguments and temporary variables introduces extra 80 bytes
on the stack. This patch wraps five parameters into shrink_result and removes
some temporary variables, thus making the relative functions to consume fewer
stack space.
Before mm/vmscan.c is changed:
text data bss dec hex filename
6876698 957224 966656 8800578 864942 vmlinux-3.15
After mm/vmscan.c is changed:
text data bss dec hex filename
6876506 957224 966656 8800386 864882 vmlinux-3.15
scripts/checkstack.pl can be used for checking the change of the target function stack.
Before mm/vmscan.c is changed:
0xffffffff810af103 shrink_inactive_list []: 152
0xffffffff810af43d shrink_inactive_list []: 152
-------------------------------------------------------------
0xffffffff810aede8 reclaim_clean_pages_from_list []: 184
0xffffffff810aeef8 reclaim_clean_pages_from_list []: 184
-------------------------------------------------------------
0xffffffff810ae582 shrink_page_list []: 232
0xffffffff810aedb5 shrink_page_list []: 232
After mm/vmscan.c is changed::
0xffffffff810af078 shrink_inactive_list []: 120
0xffffffff810af36d shrink_inactive_list []: 120
-------------------------------------------------------------
0xffffffff810aed6c reclaim_clean_pages_from_list []: 152
0xffffffff810aee68 reclaim_clean_pages_from_list []: 152
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
0xffffffff810ae586 shrink_page_list []: 184 ---> sub $0xb8,%rsp
0xffffffff810aed36 shrink_page_list []: 184 ---> add $0xb8,%rsp
Via the above figures, we can find that the difference value of the stack is 32 for
shrink_inactive_list and reclaim_clean_pages_from_list, and this value is 48(232-184)
for shrink_page_list. From the hierarchy of functions called, the total difference
value is 80(32+48) for this change.
Changes since v1: https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/6/12/159
* Rename arg_container to shrink_result
* Change the the way of initializing shrink_result object.
