But, it is defined with inline attribute so it is inlined to __cache_free() which is core free function of slab allocator. It uselessly makes kmem_cache_free()/kfree() functions large. What we really need to inline is just checking node match so this patch factor out other parts of cache_free_alien() to reduce code size of kmem_cache_free()/ kfree(). <Before> nm -S mm/slab.o | grep -e "T kfree" -e "T kmem_cache_free" 00000000000011e0 0000000000000228 T kfree 0000000000000670 0000000000000216 T kmem_cache_free <After> nm -S mm/slab.o | grep -e "T kfree" -e "T kmem_cache_free" 0000000000001110 00000000000001b5 T kfree 0000000000000750 0000000000000181 T kmem_cache_free You can see slightly reduced size of text: 0x228->0x1b5, 0x216->0x181.
