Subject: [PATCH 2/2] KVM: MMU: Recover space used by rcu_head in struct kvm_mmu_page
Date: Thu, 19 Apr 2012 19:26:37 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1334852797-28167-3-git-send-email-avi@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1334852797-28167-1-git-send-email-avi@redhat.com>

By overlaying the field with 'link', we reduce the structure size by
16 bytes.

Changing call_rcu() to be per-page is not strictly necessary, but it
can help RCU estimate the amount of work pending.
