From 0578edc5604e3e192980f406f9e1040aa6434ca4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Daniel Borkmann Date: Fri, 19 Apr 2013 06:12:28 +0000 Subject: packet: reorder a member in packet_ring_buffer There's a 4 byte hole in packet_ring_buffer structure before prb_bdqc, that can be filled with 'pending' member, thus we can reduce the overall structure size from 224 bytes to 216 bytes. This also has the side-effect, that in struct packet_sock 2*4 byte holes after the embedded packet_ring_buffer members are removed, and overall, packet_sock can be reduced by 1 cacheline: Before: size: 1344, cachelines: 21, members: 24 After: size: 1280, cachelines: 20, members: 24 Signed-off-by: Daniel Borkmann Signed-off-by: David S.
