This patch makes 2 changes regarding alignment padding for the "map_extra" field. 1) In the kernel header, "map_extra" and "btf_value_type_id" are rearranged to consolidate the hole. Before: struct bpf_map { ... u32 max_entries; /* 36 4 */ u32 map_flags; /* 40 4 */ /* XXX 4 bytes hole, try to pack */ u64 map_extra; /* 48 8 */ int spin_lock_off; /* 56 4 */ int timer_off; /* 60 4 */ /* --- cacheline 1 boundary (64 bytes) --- */ u32 id; /* 64 4 */ int numa_node; /* 68 4 */ ... bool frozen; /* 117 1 */ /* XXX 10 bytes hole, try to pack */ /* --- cacheline 2 boundary (128 bytes) --- */ ... struct work_struct work; /* 144 72 */ /* --- cacheline 3 boundary (192 bytes) was 24 bytes ago --- */ struct mutex freeze_mutex; /* 216 144 */ /* --- cacheline 5 boundary (320 bytes) was 40 bytes ago --- */ u64 writecnt; /* 360 8 */ /* size: 384, cachelines: 6, members: 26 */ /* sum members: 354, holes: 2, sum holes: 14 */ /* padding: 16 */ /* forced alignments: 2, forced holes: 1, sum forced holes: 10 */ } __attribute__((__aligned__(64))); After: struct bpf_map { ... u32 max_entries; /* 36 4 */ u64 map_extra; /* 40 8 */ u32 map_flags; /* 48 4 */ int spin_lock_off; /* 52 4 */ int timer_off; /* 56 4 */ u32 id; /* 60 4 */ /* --- cacheline 1 boundary (64 bytes) --- */ int numa_node; /* 64 4 */ ... bool frozen /* 113 1 */ /* XXX 14 bytes hole, try to pack */ /* --- cacheline 2 boundary (128 bytes) --- */ ... struct work_struct work; /* 144 72 */ /* --- cacheline 3 boundary (192 bytes) was 24 bytes ago --- */ struct mutex freeze_mutex; /* 216 144 */ /* --- cacheline 5 boundary (320 bytes) was 40 bytes ago --- */ u64 writecnt; /* 360 8 */ /* size: 384, cachelines: 6, members: 26 */ /* sum members: 354, holes: 1, sum holes: 14 */ /* padding: 16 */ /* forced alignments: 2, forced holes: 1, sum forced holes: 14 */ } __attribute__((__aligned__(64))); 2) Add alignment padding to the bpf_map_info struct More details can be found in commit 36f9814a494a ("bpf: fix uapi hole for 32 bit compat applications") Signed-off-by: Joanne Koong <joannekoong@xxxxxx>
