[PATCH 1/3] mm/slub: pack red_left_pad with another int to save a word

From: Wei Yang
Date: Sun Apr 30 2017 - 07:32:25 EST


On 64bit arch, struct is 8-bytes aligned, so int will occupy a word if it
doesn't sits well.

This patch pack red_left_pad with reserved to save 8 bytes for struct
kmem_cache on a 64bit arch.
