Subject: [PATCH 0/2 net-next v2] Bring sizeof(net_device) down to < 2K bytes
Date: Fri, 10 Apr 2015 15:52:36 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <cover.1428672434.git.tgraf@suug.ch> (raw)

The size of struct net_device crossed the 2K boundary a while ago which
is a waste in combination with many net namespaces. This series brings
the size of struct net_device down to well below 2K in total size with
a typical configuration. Some reserves a several holes leave room for
further expansion.

Before:
/* size: 2176, cachelines: 34, members: 121 */

After:
/* size: 1984, cachelines: 31, members: 120 */


Thomas Graf (2):
  e1000e: Move pm_qos_req to e1000e adapter
  net_device: Reorder members to fill holes

v2:
 - Moved pm_qos_req to e1000e adapter entirely as suggested by Daniel
 - Dropped patch 2 based on comment from Eric. __alignof__ is not
   reliable to derive alignment of kmalloc returned pointer.
