[PATCH for-next 5/5] IB/hfi1: Place struct mmu_rb_handler on cache line start

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

 



From: Patrick Kelsey <pat.kelsey@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Place struct mmu_rb_handler on cache line start like so:

	struct mmu_rb_handler *h;
	void *free_ptr;
	int ret;

	free_ptr = kzalloc(sizeof(*h) + cache_line_size() - 1, GFP_KERNEL);
	if (!free_ptr)
		return -ENOMEM;

	h = PTR_ALIGN(free_ptr, cache_line_size());

Additionally, move struct mmu_rb_handler fields "root" and "ops_args" to
start after the next cacheline using the "____cacheline_aligned_in_smp"
annotation.

Allocating an additional cache_line_size() - 1 bytes to place
struct mmu_rb_handler on a cache line start does increase memory
consumption.

However, few struct mmu_rb_handler are created when hfi1 is in use.
As mmu_rb_handler->root and mmu_rb_handler->ops_args are accessed
frequently, the advantage of having them both within a cache line is
expected to outweigh the disadvantage of the additional memory
consumption per struct mmu_rb_handler.
