Content-Disposition: inline; filename=slub_extract_dma_cache Sender: owner-linux-mm@kvack.org Return-Path: To: akpm@linux-foundation.org Cc: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org, linux-mm@kvack.org, Pekka Enberg , suresh.b.siddha@intel.com List-ID: The rarely used dma functionality in get_slab() makes the function too complex. The compiler begins to spill variables from the working set onto the stack. The created function is only used in extremely rare cases so make sure that the compiler does not decide on its own to merge it back into get_slab().
