Down, down in the deepest depths of GFP_NOIO page reclaim, we have
shrink_page_list() calling __remove_mapping() calling __delete_from_
swap_cache() or __delete_from_page_cache().
You would not expect those to need much stack, but in fact they call
radix_tree_delete(): which declares a 192-byte radix_tree_path array
on its stack (to record the node,offsets it visits when descending,
in case it needs to ascend to update them). And if any tag is still
set [1], that calls radix_tree_tag_clear(), which declares a further
such 192-byte radix_tree_path array on the stack. (At least we have
interrupts disabled here, so won't then be pushing registers too.)
That was probably a good choice when most users were 32-bit (array
of half the size), and adding fields to radix_tree_node would have
bloated it unnecessarily. But nowadays many are 64-bit, and each
radix_tree_node contains a struct rcu_head, which is only used when
freeing; whereas the radix_tree_path info is only used for updating
the tree (deleting, clearing tags or setting tags if tagged) when a
lock must be held, of no interest when accessing the tree locklessly.
So add a parent pointer to the radix_tree_node, in union with the
rcu_head, and remove all uses of the radix_tree_path. There would
be space in that union to save the offset when descending as before
(we can argue that a lock must already be held to exclude other users),
but recalculating it when ascending is both easy (a constant shift and
a constant mask) and uncommon, so it seems better just to do that.
Two little optimizations: no need to decrement height when descending,
adjusting shift is enough; and once radix_tree_tag_if_tagged() has set
tag on a node and its ancestors, it need not ascend from that node again.
perf on the radix tree test harness reports radix_tree_insert() as 2%
slower (now having to set parent), but radix_tree_delete() 24% faster.
Surely that's an exaggeration from rtth's artificially low map shift 3,
but forcing it back to 6 still rates radix_tree_delete() 8% faster.
[1] Can a pagecache tag (dirty, writeback or towrite) actually still be
set at the time of radix_tree_delete()? Perhaps not if the filesystem
is well-behaved. But although I've not tracked any stack overflow down
to this cause, I have observed a curious case in which a dirty tag is
set and left set on tmpfs: page migration's migrate_page_copy() happens
to use __set_page_dirty_nobuffers() to set PageDirty on the newpage,
and that sets PAGECACHE_TAG_DIRTY as a side-effect - harmless to a
filesystem which doesn't use tags, except for this stack depth issue.
