For example, 'pageblock_order' is a core VM constant, but because it was implemented using 'min_t()' and all the type-checking that involves, it actually expanded to something like 2.5kB of preprocessor noise. And when that simple constant was then used inside other expansions: #define pageblock_nr_pages (1UL << pageblock_order) #define pageblock_start_pfn(pfn) ALIGN_DOWN((pfn), pageblock_nr_pages) and we then use that inside a 'max()' macro: case ISOLATE_SUCCESS: update_cached =3D false; last_migrated_pfn =3D max(cc->zone->zone_start_pfn, pageblock_start_pfn(cc->migrate_pfn - 1)); the end result was that one statement expanding to 253kB in size. There are probably other cases of this, but this one case certainly stood out. I've added 'MIN_T()' and 'MAX_T()' macros for this kind of "core simple constant with specific type" use. These macros skip the type checking, and as such need to be very sparingly used only for obvious cases that have active issues like this.
