[PATCH] RDMA/restrack: Reorder fields in 'struct rdma_restrack_entry'

From: Christophe JAILLET
Date: Tue Feb 14 2023 - 07:54:12 EST


Group some variables based on their sizes to reduce hole and avoid padding.
On x86_64, this shrinks the size from 136 to 128 bytes.

Using pahole

Before:
======
struct rdma_restrack_entry {
bool valid; /* 0 1 */
u8 no_track:1; /* 1: 0 1 */

/* XXX 7 bits hole, try to pack */
/* XXX 2 bytes hole, try to pack */

struct kref kref; /* 4 4 */
struct completion comp; /* 8 96 */
/* --- cacheline 1 boundary (64 bytes) was 40 bytes ago --- */
struct task_struct * task; /* 104 8 */
const char * kern_name; /* 112 8 */
enum rdma_restrack_type type; /* 120 4 */
bool user; /* 124 1 */

/* XXX 3 bytes hole, try to pack */

/* --- cacheline 2 boundary (128 bytes) --- */
u32 id; /* 128 4 */

/* size: 136, cachelines: 3, members: 9 */
/* sum members: 126, holes: 2, sum holes: 5 */
/* sum bitfield members: 1 bits, bit holes: 1, sum bit holes: 7 bits */
/* padding: 4 */
/* last cacheline: 8 bytes */
};

After:
=====
struct rdma_restrack_entry {
bool valid; /* 0 1 */
u8 no_track:1; /* 1: 0 1 */

/* XXX 7 bits hole, try to pack */

bool user; /* 2 1 */

/* XXX 1 byte hole, try to pack */

struct kref kref; /* 4 4 */
struct completion comp; /* 8 96 */
/* --- cacheline 1 boundary (64 bytes) was 40 bytes ago --- */
struct task_struct * task; /* 104 8 */
const char * kern_name; /* 112 8 */
enum rdma_restrack_type type; /* 120 4 */
u32 id; /* 124 4 */

/* size: 128, cachelines: 2, members: 9 */
/* sum members: 126, holes: 1, sum holes: 1 */
/* sum bitfield members: 1 bits, bit holes: 1, sum bit holes: 7 bits */
};
