Using the stack is\nfaster than kmalloc. On a Intel P4 system it speeds up a select of a\nsingle pty fd by about 13% (~4000 cycles -\u003e ~3500)\n\nIt also saves memory because a daemon hanging in select or poll will\nusually save one or two less pages. This can add up - e.g. if you have 10\ndaemons blocking in poll/select you save 40KB of memory.\n\nI did a patch for this long ago, but it was never applied. This version is\na reimplementation of the old patch that tries to be less intrusive. I\nonly did the minimal changes needed for the stack allocation.\n\nThe cut off point before external memory is allocated is currently at\n832bytes. The system calls always allocate this much memory on the stack.\n\nThese 832 bytes are divided into 256 bytes frontend data (for the select\nbitmaps of the pollfds) and the rest of the space for the wait queues used\nby the low level drivers. There are some extreme cases where this won\u0027t\nwork out for select and it falls back to allocating memory too early -\nespecially with very sparse large select bitmaps - but the majority of\nprocesses who only have a small number of file descriptors should be ok.\n[TBD: 832/256 might not be the best split for select or poll]\n\nI suspect more optimizations might be possible, but they would be more\ncomplicated.
