Subject: [PATCH] skbuff: remove unused dma_head & dma_maps fields
Date: Tue, 23 Mar 2010 23:40:50 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20100324064049.32298.87859.stgit@localhost.localdomain> (raw)
From: Alexander Duyck <alexander.h.duyck@intel.com>
The dma map fields in the skb_shared_info structure no longer has any users
and can be dropped since it is making the skb_shared_info unecessarily larger.
Running slabtop show that we were using 4K slabs for the skb->head on x86_64 w/
an allocation size of 1522. It turns out that the dma_head and dma_maps array
made skb_shared large enough that we had crossed over the 2k boundary with
standard frames and as such we were using 4k blocks of memory for all skbs.
