Subject: [PATCH] block: unalign call_single_data in struct request
Date: Wed, 20 Dec 2017 12:25:35 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <aedc557e-bfa2-d0ae-39fe-1a937c19bf87@kernel.dk> (raw)

A previous change blindly added massive alignment to the
call_single_data structure in struct request. This ballooned it in
size from 296 to 320 bytes on my setup, for no valid reason at all.

Use the unaligned struct __call_single_data variant instead.

Fixes: 966a967116e69 ("smp: Avoid using two cache lines for struct call_single_data")
Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk>
