From: Andy Lutomirski Date: Fri, 16 Sep 2016 05:45:48 +0000 (-0700) Subject: sched/core: Free the stack early if CONFIG_THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=68f24b08ee892d47bdef925d676e1ae1ccc316f8;p=linux-beck.git sched/core: Free the stack early if CONFIG_THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK We currently keep every task's stack around until the task_struct itself is freed. This means that we keep the stack allocation alive for longer than necessary and that, under load, we free stacks in big batches whenever RCU drops the last task reference. Neither of these is good for reuse of cache-hot memory, and freeing in batches prevents us from usefully caching small numbers of vmalloced stacks. On architectures that have thread_info on the stack, we can't easily change this, but on architectures that set THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK, we can free it as soon as the task is dead.
