Subject: [PATCH bpf-next v9 01/23] bpf: Pack bpf_insn_aux_data flags into bit fields
Date: Thu, 8 Oct 2026 00:50:04 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261008075004.2994679-1-yonghong.song@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261008074959.2993751-1-yonghong.song@linux.dev>
struct bpf_insn_aux_data spreads its flags over nine bools, a u8 of three
bit fields and a u32 group with 25 of its 32 bits spare. Put them all in
one u64 word, alu_state with them, with orig_idx packing into the word's
upper half. The structure goes from 128 bytes to 120, and stays there
when a later patch adds a u32, which takes the tail padding.
No functional change.
