Subject: [PATCH] io: remove padding from io_context on 64bit builds
Date: Fri, 26 Feb 2010 12:56:00 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1267188960.2077.10.camel@localhost> (raw)
On 64 bit builds when CONFIG_BLK_CGROUP=n (the default) this removes 8
bytes of padding from structure io_context and drops its size from 72 to
64 bytes, so needing one fewer cachelines and allowing more objects per
slab in it's kmem_cache.
Signed-off-by: Richard Kennedy <richard@rsk.demon.co.uk>
----
patch against 2.6.33
compiled & test on x86_64 AMDX2
regards
Richard
