McKenney" , Christoph Lameter , Pekka Enberg , Eric Dumazet , "David S. Miller" , Matt Mackall , linux-mm@kvack.org, linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org, netdev@vger.kernel.org To: Ingo Molnar Return-path: Sender: owner-linux-mm@kvack.org List-Id: netdev.vger.kernel.org We always keep the struct rcu_head very small, but we may change it in future or under some CONFIGs. There are some other systems may assume the size of struct rcu_head as 2 * sizeof(long). These assumptions obstruct us to add debug information or priority information to struct rcu_head. It is time to fix them. It is glad that I just find 3 places which need to be fixed. These 4 patches are just cleanup patches when the size of struct rcu_head == 2 * sizeof(long). NO overhead added and NO behavior changed. Even when the size of struct rcu_head becomes larger, only slub is changed a little.
