Instead of using the global pool_offset variable to find a free slot when storing a new stack record, mainlain a freelist of free slots within the allocated stack pools. A global next_stack variable is used as the head of the freelist, and the next field in the stack_record struct is reused as freelist link (when the record is not in the freelist, this field is used as a link in the hash table). This is preparatory patch for implementing the eviction of stack records from the stack depot.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
