Hi Chris,
Thanks for this, we've been soaking it for a while and get the stack
trace below (which is still >8k), which still has shrink_zone at 528 bytes.
I find it odd that the shrink_zone stack usage is different on our
systems. This is a stock kernel 2.6.33.2 kernel, x86_64 arch (plus your
patch + Dave Chinner's patch) built using ubuntu make-kpkg, with gcc
(Ubuntu 4.3.3-5ubuntu4) 4.3.3 (.vmscan.o.cmd with full build options is
below, gzipped .config attached).
Can you see any difference between your system and ours which might
explain the discrepancy? I note -g and -pg in there. (Does -pg have any
stack overhead? It seems to be enabled in ubuntu release kernels).
regards,
jb
