Subject: [PATCH] naturally align struct ext4_allocation_request
Date: Wed, 24 Jun 2009 11:30:58 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4A4254C2.8000609@redhat.com> (raw)
As Ted noted, the ext4_allocation_request isn't well aligned.
Looking at it with pahole we're wasting space on 64-bit
arches:
struct ext4_allocation_request {
struct inode * inode; /* 0 8 */
ext4_lblk_t logical; /* 8 4 */
/* XXX 4 bytes hole, try to pack */
ext4_fsblk_t goal; /* 16 8 */
ext4_lblk_t lleft; /* 24 4 */
/* XXX 4 bytes hole, try to pack */
ext4_fsblk_t pleft; /* 32 8 */
ext4_lblk_t lright; /* 40 4 */
/* XXX 4 bytes hole, try to pack */
ext4_fsblk_t pright; /* 48 8 */
unsigned int len; /* 56 4 */
unsigned int flags; /* 60 4 */
/* --- cacheline 1 boundary (64 bytes) --- */
/* size: 64, cachelines: 1, members: 9 */
/* sum members: 52, holes: 3, sum holes: 12 */
};
grouping 32-bit members together closes these holes and shrinks
the structure by 12 bytes.
