Simple reordering of __bi_remaining can reduce bio size by 8 bytes that
are now wasted on padding (measured on x86_64):
struct bio {
struct bio * bi_next; /* 0 8 */
struct gendisk * bi_disk; /* 8 8 */
unsigned int bi_opf; /* 16 4 */
short unsigned int bi_flags; /* 20 2 */
short unsigned int bi_ioprio; /* 22 2 */
short unsigned int bi_write_hint; /* 24 2 */
blk_status_t bi_status; /* 26 1 */
u8 bi_partno; /* 27 1 */
/* XXX 4 bytes hole, try to pack */
struct bvec_iter bi_iter; /* 32 24 */
/* XXX last struct has 4 bytes of padding */
atomic_t __bi_remaining; /* 56 4 */
/* XXX 4 bytes hole, try to pack */
[...]
/* size: 104, cachelines: 2, members: 19 */
/* sum members: 96, holes: 2, sum holes: 8 */
/* paddings: 1, sum paddings: 4 */
/* last cacheline: 40 bytes */
};
Now becomes:
struct bio {
struct bio * bi_next; /* 0 8 */
struct gendisk * bi_disk; /* 8 8 */
unsigned int bi_opf; /* 16 4 */
short unsigned int bi_flags; /* 20 2 */
short unsigned int bi_ioprio; /* 22 2 */
short unsigned int bi_write_hint; /* 24 2 */
blk_status_t bi_status; /* 26 1 */
u8 bi_partno; /* 27 1 */
atomic_t __bi_remaining; /* 28 4 */
struct bvec_iter bi_iter; /* 32 24 */
/* XXX last struct has 4 bytes of padding */
[...]
/* size: 96, cachelines: 2, members: 19 */
/* paddings: 1, sum paddings: 4 */
/* last cacheline: 32 bytes */
};
