Subject: [RFC net-next 2/9] genetlink: reorg struct genl_family
Date: Wed, 30 Sep 2020 17:05:11 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20201001000518.685243-3-kuba@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20201001000518.685243-1-kuba@kernel.org>

There are holes and oversized members in struct genl_family.

Before: /* size: 104, cachelines: 2, members: 16 */
After:  /* size:  88, cachelines: 2, members: 16 */

The command field in struct genlmsghdr is a u8, so no point
in the operation count being 32 bit. Also operation 0 is
usually undefined, so we only need 255 entries.

netnsok and parallel_ops are only ever initialized to true.

We can grow the fields as needed, compiler should warn us
if someone tries to assign larger constants.
