[PATCH 11/15] block: define 'struct bvec_iter' as packed

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Ming Lei <ming.lei@xxxxxxxxxx>

'struct bvec_iter' is embedded into 'struct bio', define it as packed
so that we can get one extra 4bytes for other uses without expanding
bio.

'struct bvec_iter' is often allocated on stack, so making it packed
doesn't affect performance. Also I have run io_uring on both
nvme/null_blk, and not observe performance effect in this way.
