![]() Patch series "Remove nrexceptional tracking", v2. We actually use nrexceptional for very little these days. It's a minor pain to keep in sync with nrpages, but the pain becomes much bigger with the THP patches because we don't know how many indices a shadow entry occupies. It's easier to just remove it than keep it accurate. Also, we save 8 bytes per inode which is nothing to sneeze at; on my laptop, it would improve shmem_inode_cache from 22 to 23 objects per 16kB, and inode_cache from 26 to 27 objects. Combined, that saves a megabyte of memory from a combined usage of 25MB for both caches. Unfortunately, ext4 doesn't cross a magic boundary, so it doesn't save any memory for ext4. This patch (of 4): Instead of checking the two counters (nrpages and nrexceptional), we can just check whether i_pages is empty.
