Though it is a decent suggestion, moving it before jiffies_force_qs does not
make the structure smaller. Trying to outsmart the compiler seems not a good
idea when it is not really packing the structure.
Besides, I am not too worried about 4-byte holes considering the structure is
full of them and that ofl_lock is ____cacheline_internodealigned_in_smp which
adds a giant 55 byte hole to the structure. That should keep you at night if
you are worried about 4 byte holes.
And the total size of the structure on a 64-bit build is 3776 bytes so 4
bytes is about 1/10th of a percent. Puny.
So I'd rather leave nr_fqs_jiffies_stall where it is especially considering
it is more readable where it is. :-)
thanks,
