[PATCH 11/12] mm, slub: don't aggressively inline with CONFIG_SLUB_TINY

From: Vlastimil Babka
Date: Mon Nov 21 2022 - 12:13:07 EST


SLUB fastpaths use __always_inline to avoid function calls. With
CONFIG_SLUB_TINY we would rather save the memory. Add a
__fastpath_inline macro that's __always_inline normally but empty with
CONFIG_SLUB_TINY.

bloat-o-meter results on x86_64 mm/slub.o:

add/remove: 3/1 grow/shrink: 1/8 up/down: 865/-1784 (-919)
