Subject: - ext2-allocate-s_blockgroup_lock-separately.patch removed from -mm tree


The patch titled
ext2: allocate ->s_blockgroup_lock separately
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
ext2-allocate-s_blockgroup_lock-separately.patch

This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree

The current -mm tree may be found at http://userweb.kernel.org/~akpm/mmotm/

Subject: ext2: allocate ->s_blockgroup_lock separately
From: Pekka J Enberg <[email protected]>

As spotted by kmemtrace, struct ext2_sb_info is 17024 bytes on 64-bit
which makes it a very bad fit for SLAB allocators. The culprit of the
wasted memory is ->s_blockgroup_lock which can be as big as 16 KB when
NR_CPUS >= 32.

To fix that, allocate ->s_blockgroup_lock, which fits nicely in a order 2
page in the worst case, separately. This shinks down struct ext2_sb_info
enough to fit a 1 KB slab cache so now we allocate 16 KB + 1 KB instead of
32 KB saving 15 KB of memory.
