Inspection of kmem_cache_free() disassembly showed we could make the fast path smaller by providing few more hints to the compiler, and splitting the memcg_slab_free_hook() into an inline part that only checks if there's work to do, and an out of line part doing the actual uncharge. bloat-o-meter results: add/remove: 2/0 grow/shrink: 0/3 up/down: 286/-554 (-268) Function old new delta __memcg_slab_free_hook - 270 +270 __pfx___memcg_slab_free_hook - 16 +16 kfree 828 665 -163 kmem_cache_free 1116 948 -168 kmem_cache_free_bulk.part 1701 1478 -223 Checking kmem_cache_free() disassembly now shows the non-fastpath cases are handled out of line, which should reduce instruction cache usage.
