[PATCH net-next] netlabel: Reorder fields in 'struct netlbl_domaddr6_map'
Posted by Christophe JAILLET 2 years, 7 months ago 
Group some variables based on their sizes to reduce hole and avoid padding.
On x86_64, this shrinks the size of 'struct netlbl_domaddr6_map'
from 72 to 64 bytes.

It saves a few bytes of memory and is more cache-line friendly.

Using pahole

Before:
======
struct netlbl_dom_map {
	char *                     domain;               /*     0     8 */
	u16                        family;               /*     8     2 */

	/* XXX 6 bytes hole, try to pack */

	struct netlbl_dommap_def   def;                  /*    16    16 */
	u32                        valid;                /*    32     4 */

	/* XXX 4 bytes hole, try to pack */

	struct list_head           list;                 /*    40    16 */
	struct callback_head       rcu __attribute__((__aligned__(8))); /*    56    16 */

	/* size: 72, cachelines: 2, members: 6 */
	/* sum members: 62, holes: 2, sum holes: 10 */
	/* forced alignments: 1 */
	/* last cacheline: 8 bytes */
} __attribute__((__aligned__(8)));


After:
=====
struct netlbl_dom_map {
	char *                     domain;               /*     0     8 */
	struct netlbl_dommap_def   def;                  /*     8    16 */
	u16                        family;               /*    24     2 */

	/* XXX 2 bytes hole, try to pack */

	u32                        valid;                /*    28     4 */
	struct list_head           list;                 /*    32    16 */
	struct callback_head       rcu __attribute__((__aligned__(8))); /*    48    16 */

	/* size: 64, cachelines: 1, members: 6 */
	/* sum members: 62, holes: 1, sum holes: 2 */
	/* forced alignments: 1 */
} __attribute__((__aligned__(8)));
