I can't see anything obvious in this patch that would reduce the size much.
OTOH there are some large functions that are pointlessly marked 'inline'.
Maybe the compiler made a better choice?
Although it isn't al all obvious why the 'data' size changes.

Looks like you can move the decrement inside the lock.
If you can do the same for the increment you can avoid the
expensive locked bus cycle.
