From 94f759d62b2c6a9d124b0622077b1ddcfac43fb5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Sergei Rogachev Date: Wed, 11 Feb 2015 15:28:34 -0800 Subject: mm/page_owner.c: remove unnecessary stack_trace field Page owner uses the page_ext structure to keep meta-information for every page in the system. The structure also contains a field of type 'struct stack_trace', page owner uses this field during invocation of the function save_stack_trace. It is easy to notice that keeping a copy of this structure for every page in the system is very inefficiently in terms of memory. The patch removes this unnecessary field of page_ext and forces page owner to use a stack_trace structure allocated on the stack.
