Subject: [PATCH v2 00/18] fs/ceph: optimize struct layouts
Date: Mon, 6 Jul 2026 09:24:31 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260706072450.3920010-1-max.kellermann@ionos.com> (raw)
This patch set aims to reduce the memory usage of the Ceph filesystems
by optimizing the layout of structs, most importantly struct
ceph_inode_info:
- use `bool` instead of `int` for booelans
- use `u32` instead of `u64` where possible
- reorder fields to eliminate padding holes
- eliminate redundant fields
Without this patch set, ceph_inode_info looks like this with pahole:
/* size: 1456, cachelines: 23, members: 79 */
/* sum members: 1424, holes: 8, sum holes: 32 */
/* member types with holes: 3, total: 3 */
With this patch set, struct ceph_inode_info got smaller by 96 bytes:
/* size: 1360, cachelines: 22, members: 76 */
/* member types with holes: 1, total: 1 */
struct ceph_cap shrinks by 24 bytes:
/* size: 120, cachelines: 2, members: 12 */
/* size: 96, cachelines: 2, members: 10 */
struct ceph_snap_realm shrinks by 24 bytes, too:
/* size: 232, cachelines: 4, members: 21 */
/* sum members: 216, holes: 3, sum holes: 12 */
/* size: 208, cachelines: 4, members: 20 */
---
v1->v2:
- fix CONFIG_FS_ENCRYPTION check in "i_truncate_pagecache_size" patch
- add patches to shrink ceph_cap and ceph_snap_realm
Max Kellermann (18):
fs/ceph/super: remove unused field `i_cap_migration_resv`
fs/ceph/super: make field `i_truncate_pagecache_size` optional
include/ceph/ceph_fs.h: convert `pool_id` to u32
fs/ceph/super.h: convert ceph_inode_xattr fields to `bool`
fs/ceph/super.h: convert ceph_cap_snap.writing fields to `bool`
fs/ceph: consistently use `u32` for `time_warp_seq`
fs/ceph/super: reorder fields to eliminate padding holes
fs/ceph: remove i_truncate_mutex, use i_fragtree_mutex for both
fs/ceph/super.h: add `const` to helpers
fs/ceph/super.h: add helper ceph_in_snap()
fs/ceph: use ceph_vino() etc. instead of accessing i_vino directly
fs/ceph: remove redundant inode number from ceph_inode_info
fs/ceph: remove unused field `ceph_cap.last_used`
fs/ceph: convert ceph_cap.queue_release to bool
fs/ceph/super: move `ceph_cap.caps_item` into the union
fs/ceph/snap: add a kmem_cache for struct ceph_snap_realm
fs/ceph/super: reorder struct ceph_snap_realm fields
fs/ceph/super: remove redundant field `ceph_snap_realm.parent_ino`
