SubjectRe: [Patch 17/23] mask v2 = [6/7] nodemask_t_ia64_changes
Matthew,

A couple of these nodemask changes are increasing kernel text size quite
a bit on big numa configurations.

I've got one test case I ran where the text size of vmlinux increased
from 8789097 to 8810513 bytes (2.6.5 kernel for ia64 SN2 NR_CPUS=512
sn2_defconfig, gcc 3.2.3).

From a cursory comparson of 'nm --print-size --size-sort' output,
I think the increased space is caused by the numerous numnodes
changes, such as:

- pxm_to_nid_map[i] = numnodes;
- nid_to_pxm_map[numnodes++] = i;
+ pxm_to_nid_map[i] = num_online_nodes();
+ nid_to_pxm_map[num_online_nodes()] = i;
+ node_set_online(num_online_nodes());

And by the for loop replacements:

- for (nid = 0, i = 0; i < numnodes; i++) {
+ nid = 0;
+ for_each_online_node(i) {

In particular, the machine code generated by the following silly little
routine:

int foo() { int i = 0, n; for_each_online_node(n) i++; return i; }

is ... hold onto your hat ...

Possible changes to consider:

1) Instead of replacing each numnodes with num_online_nodes(), rather
add a local function variable:

int numnodes = num_online_nodes();

This would reduce the size of the source code patch as well.

2) Perhaps some of the mechanism laying beneath num_online_nodes(),
such as in the bitmap/bitop area, should not be inlined.

3) Are not the following two codes essentially equivalent:

int n;
for_each_online_node(n) {
blah blah ...
}

and:

int n;
for (n = 0; n < MAX_NUMNODES; n++) {
if (! node_online(n))
continue;
blah blah ...
}

I'll wager the second form generates better code. And since
the second form is closer to what was there before, generates
a smaller patch.

In other words, I am not yet understanding the value of changing
each loop over nodes to use these macros.


Just possible avenues for investigation - there are likely others.
