In order to minimize code size (CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE=y),
compiler might choose to make a regular function call (out-of-line) for

error.
mm/shmem.c: In function ‘shmem_getattr’:

To prevent the possible error, always inline shmem_is_huge() when
transparent hugepages are disabled.
Do you know which commit introduced that?
Hi David,
Currently with CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE=y and expirementing with
-fPIC kernel compiler option, I could see this error on s390.
Got it. I assume on Linus' tree, not mm/unstable?
It's not yet upstream.
However, default kernel compiler options doesnt end up with the above
pattern right now.
Okay, just asking if this is related to recent HPAGE_PMD_SIZE changes:
commit c1a1e497a3d5711dbf8fa6d7432d6b83ec18c26f
Author: Peter Xu <peterx@xxxxxxxxxx>
Date: Wed Mar 27 11:23:22 2024 -0400
mm: make HPAGE_PXD_* macros even if !THP
Which is still in mm-unstable and not upstream.
Not related to this commit. I tried on master branch.
Thanks! Can you try with Peters patch? (ccing Peter)
If I am not wrong, that should also resolve the issue you are seeing.
