My tests show you should inline __rmqueue_pcplist(). See patch I'm using below signature, which also have some benchmark notes. (Please squash it into your patch and drop these notes). -- Best regards, Jesper Dangaard Brouer MSc.CS, Principal Kernel Engineer at Red Hat LinkedIn: http://www.linkedin.com/in/brouer [PATCH] mm: inline __rmqueue_pcplist From: Jesper Dangaard Brouer When __alloc_pages_bulk() got introduced two callers of __rmqueue_pcplist exist and the compiler chooses to not inline this function. ./scripts/bloat-o-meter vmlinux-before vmlinux-inline__rmqueue_pcplist add/remove: 0/1 grow/shrink: 2/0 up/down: 164/-125 (39) Function old new delta rmqueue 2197 2296 +99 __alloc_pages_bulk 1921 1986 +65 __rmqueue_pcplist 125 - -125 Total: Before=19374127, After=19374166, chg +0.00% modprobe page_bench04_bulk loops=$((10**7)) Type:time_bulk_page_alloc_free_array - Per elem: 106 cycles(tsc) 29.595 ns (step:64) - (measurement period time:0.295955434 sec time_interval:295955434) - (invoke count:10000000 tsc_interval:1065447105) Before: - Per elem: 110 cycles(tsc) 30.633 ns (step:64) Signed-off-by: Jesper Dangaard Brouer --- mm/page_alloc.c | 3 ++- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/mm/page_alloc.c b/mm/page_alloc.c index 2cbb8da811ab..f60f51a97a7b 100644 --- a/mm/page_alloc.c +++ b/mm/page_alloc.c @@ -3415,7 +3415,8 @@ static inline void zone_statistics(struct zone *preferred_zone, struct zone *z) } /* Remove page from the per-cpu list, caller must protect the list */ -static struct page *__rmqueue_pcplist(struct zone *zone, int migratetype, +static inline +struct page *__rmqueue_pcplist(struct zone *zone, int migratetype, unsigned int alloc_flags, struct per_cpu_pages *pcp, struct list_head *list)
