Its filename is force-inlining-of-selected-page-flag-modifications.patch This patch should soon appear at http://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmots/broken-out/force-inlining-of-selected-page-flag-modifications.patch and later at http://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmotm/broken-out/force-inlining-of-selected-page-flag-modifications.patch Before you just go and hit "reply", please: a) Consider who else should be cc'ed b) Prefer to cc a suitable mailing list as well c) Ideally: find the original patch on the mailing list and do a reply-to-all to that, adding suitable additional cc's *** Remember to use Documentation/SubmitChecklist when testing your code *** The -mm tree is included into linux-next and is updated there every 3-4 working days ------------------------------------------------------ From: Denys Vlasenko <dvlasenk@xxxxxxxxxx> Subject: include/linux/page-flags.h: force inlining of selected page flag modifications Sometimes gcc mysteriously doesn't inline very small functions we expect to be inlined. See https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=66122 With this .config: http://busybox.net/~vda/kernel_config_OPTIMIZE_INLINING_and_Os, the following functions get deinlined many times. Examples of disassembly: <SetPageUptodate> (43 copies, 141 calls): 55 push %rbp 48 89 e5 mov %rsp,%rbp f0 80 0f 08 lock orb $0x8,(%rdi) 5d pop %rbp c3 retq <PagePrivate> (10 copies, 134 calls): 48 8b 07 mov (%rdi),%rax 55 push %rbp 48 89 e5 mov %rsp,%rbp 48 c1 e8 0b shr $0xb,%rax 83 e0 01 and $0x1,%eax 5d pop %rbp c3 retq This patch fixes this via s/inline/__always_inline/.
