Subject: [PATCH -mm] task_struct: move ->fpu_counter and ->oomkilladj
Date: Thu, 27 Sep 2007 13:55:57 +0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20070927095557.GA6758@localhost.sw.ru> (raw)

There is nice 2 byte hole after struct task_struct::ioprio field
into which we can put two 1-byte fields: ->fpu_counter and ->oomkilladj.

[cc'ing Arjan just in case ->fpu_counter placement wasn't completely random :^)]
