I changed shrink list by noinline_for_stack. The result is following as. 00001fe0 : 1fe0: 55 push %ebp 1fe1: 89 e5 mov %esp,%ebp 1fe3: 57 push %edi 1fe4: 56 push %esi 1fe5: 53 push %ebx 1fe6: 83 ec 4c sub $0x4c,%esp 1fe9: 89 45 c0 mov %eax,-0x40(%ebp) 1fec: 89 55 bc mov %edx,-0x44(%ebp) 1fef: 89 4d b8 mov %ecx,-0x48(%ebp) 0x110 -> 0x4c. Should we have to add noinline_for_stack for shrink_list? --=20 Kind regards, Minchan Kim -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@kvack.org.
