Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 4.19 4/4] dm-verity, dm-crypt: align "struct bvec_iter" correctly
Date: Thu, 29 Feb 2024 15:42:04 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20240229204208.2862333-4-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20240229204208.2862333-1-sashal@kernel.org>
From: Mikulas Patocka <mpatocka@redhat.com>
[ Upstream commit 787f1b2800464aa277236a66eb3c279535edd460 ]
"struct bvec_iter" is defined with the __packed attribute, so it is
aligned on a single byte. On X86 (and on other architectures that support
unaligned addresses in hardware), "struct bvec_iter" is accessed using the
8-byte and 4-byte memory instructions, however these instructions are less
efficient if they operate on unaligned addresses.
(on RISC machines that don't have unaligned access in hardware, GCC
generates byte-by-byte accesses that are very inefficient - see [1])
This commit reorders the entries in "struct dm_verity_io" and "struct
convert_context", so that "struct bvec_iter" is aligned on 8 bytes.
