Subject: [051/146] inetpeer: reduce stack usage

2.6.38-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------


From: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@...il.com>

[ Upstream commit 66944e1c5797562cebe2d1857d46dff60bf9a69e ]

On 64bit arches, we use 752 bytes of stack when cleanup_once() is called
from inet_getpeer().

Lets share the avl stack to save ~376 bytes.

Before patch :

# objdump -d net/ipv4/inetpeer.o | scripts/checkstack.pl

0x000006c3 unlink_from_pool [inetpeer.o]:		376
0x00000721 unlink_from_pool [inetpeer.o]:		376
0x00000cb1 inet_getpeer [inetpeer.o]:			376
0x00000e6d inet_getpeer [inetpeer.o]:			376
0x0004 inet_initpeers [inetpeer.o]:			112
# size net/ipv4/inetpeer.o
   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
   5320	    432	     21	   5773	   168d	net/ipv4/inetpeer.o

After patch :

objdump -d net/ipv4/inetpeer.o | scripts/checkstack.pl
0x00000c11 inet_getpeer [inetpeer.o]:			376
0x00000dcd inet_getpeer [inetpeer.o]:			376
0x00000ab9 peer_check_expire [inetpeer.o]:		328
0x00000b7f peer_check_expire [inetpeer.o]:		328
0x0004 inet_initpeers [inetpeer.o]:			112
# size net/ipv4/inetpeer.o
   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
   5163	    432	     21	   5616	   15f0	net/ipv4/inetpeer.o
