Subject: [IPSEC] flow: reorder "struct flow_cache_entry" and remove SLAB_HWCACHE_ALIGN
Date: Fri, 08 Feb 2008 08:12:49 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <47AC00F1.9090308@cosmosbay.com> (raw)
[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 235 bytes --]
1) We can shrink sizeof(struct flow_cache_entry) by 8 bytes on 64bit arches.
2) No need to align these structures to hardware cache lines, this only waste
ram for very litle gain.
