From: "Liam R. Howlett" <Liam.Howlett@xxxxxxxxxx> The vma_munmap_struct has a hole of 4 bytes and pushes the struct to three cachelines. Relocating the three booleans upwards allows for the struct to only use two cachelines (as reported by pahole on amd64). Before: struct vma_munmap_struct { struct vma_iterator * vmi; /* 0 8 */ struct vm_area_struct * vma; /* 8 8 */ struct vm_area_struct * prev; /* 16 8 */ struct vm_area_struct * next; /* 24 8 */ struct list_head * uf; /* 32 8 */ long unsigned int start; /* 40 8 */ long unsigned int end; /* 48 8 */ long unsigned int unmap_start; /* 56 8 */ /* --- cacheline 1 boundary (64 bytes) --- */ long unsigned int unmap_end; /* 64 8 */ int vma_count; /* 72 4 */ /* XXX 4 bytes hole, try to pack */ long unsigned int nr_pages; /* 80 8 */ long unsigned int locked_vm; /* 88 8 */ long unsigned int nr_accounted; /* 96 8 */ long unsigned int exec_vm; /* 104 8 */ long unsigned int stack_vm; /* 112 8 */ long unsigned int data_vm; /* 120 8 */ /* --- cacheline 2 boundary (128 bytes) --- */ bool unlock; /* 128 1 */ bool clear_ptes; /* 129 1 */ bool closed_vm_ops; /* 130 1 */ /* size: 136, cachelines: 3, members: 19 */ /* sum members: 127, holes: 1, sum holes: 4 */ /* padding: 5 */ /* last cacheline: 8 bytes */ }; After: struct vma_munmap_struct { struct vma_iterator * vmi; /* 0 8 */ struct vm_area_struct * vma; /* 8 8 */ struct vm_area_struct * prev; /* 16 8 */ struct vm_area_struct * next; /* 24 8 */ struct list_head * uf; /* 32 8 */ long unsigned int start; /* 40 8 */ long unsigned int end; /* 48 8 */ long unsigned int unmap_start; /* 56 8 */ /* --- cacheline 1 boundary (64 bytes) --- */ long unsigned int unmap_end; /* 64 8 */ int vma_count; /* 72 4 */ bool unlock; /* 76 1 */ bool clear_ptes; /* 77 1 */ bool closed_vm_ops; /* 78 1 */ /* XXX 1 byte hole, try to pack */ long unsigned int nr_pages; /* 80 8 */ long unsigned int locked_vm; /* 88 8 */ long unsigned int nr_accounted; /* 96 8 */ long unsigned int exec_vm; /* 104 8 */ long unsigned int stack_vm; /* 112 8 */ long unsigned int data_vm; /* 120 8 */ /* size: 128, cachelines: 2, members: 19 */ /* sum members: 127, holes: 1, sum holes: 1 */ }; Signed-off-by: Liam R.
