[RFC PATCH v1 03/57] mm/memcontrol: Fix seq_buf size to save memory when PAGE_SIZE is large

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Previously the seq_buf used for accumulating the memory.stat output was
sized at PAGE_SIZE. But the amount of output is invariant to PAGE_SIZE;
If 4K is enough on a 4K page system, then it should also be enough on a
64K page system, so we can save 60K om the static buffer used in
mem_cgroup_print_oom_meminfo(). Let's make it so.

This also has the beneficial side effect of removing a place in the code
that assumed PAGE_SIZE is a compile-time constant. So this helps our
quest towards supporting boot-time page size selection.
