Subject: [PATCH] mm/shmem: drop the second folio batch from shmem_undo_range()
Date: Wed, 11 Nov 2026 22:39:01 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261111-bug-mm-shmem-undo-frame-v1-1-e50a95b8f9b2@linux.dev> (raw)
shmem_undo_range() keeps a folio_batch and an array of FOLIO_BATCH_SIZE
indices on its stack. Removing truncated folios from the page cache in
batches added a second folio_batch to collect the folios to delete.
That grows the stack frame by about 200 bytes, past the 1024 byte limit
of mips eyeq6_defconfig built with clang.
Pass fbatch itself to delete_from_page_cache_batch() once the swap
entries are gone, as truncate_inode_pages_range() does. Undoing a failed
fallocate() only removes the folios that are not uptodate, so remove
those one at a time with truncate_inode_folio() as before.
Stack frame of shmem_undo_range() built with clang 18:
config before (bytes) after (bytes) change
mips eyeq6_defconfig 928 720 -22%
x86_64 920 712 -23%
Fixes: b97fbd541ecba ("mm/shmem: remove truncated folios from the page cache in batches")
Reported-by: kernel test robot <lkp@intel.com>
Closes: https://lore.kernel.org/oe-kbuild-all/202611112032.TMyPU6Rm-lkp@intel.com/

David, this applies on top of b97fbd541ecba in shmem-7.5.misc; please
fold it in if you prefer.
