struct error_info has 6 bytes of padding on x86_64 (and I assume also other 64 bit platforms). This currently amounts to about 4k of wasted space (and presumably a third of that on 32 bit). We can avoid that by keeping the codes and the strings in separate arrays. Keeping those in sync should be easy enough if we use the standard trick of including a table twice. Patch 2/2 would be something like below; 1/2 is a 1600 line purely mechanical thing which I won't spam the lists with unless someone else thinks this is a good idea. What do you think? Subject: [PATCH 2/2] scsi: split additional[] array in two struct error_info has 6 bytes of padding (on 64 bit platforms), which amounts to over 4K of wasted space in the additional[] array. Splitting it in two avoids that waste. A BUILD_BUG_ON and the fact that the two arrays are generated from the same include file should keep these two arrays in sync. $ scripts/bloat-o-meter /tmp/vmlinux vmlinux add/remove: 2/1 grow/shrink: 1/0 up/down: 7073/-11312 (-4239) Signed-off-by: Rasmus Villemoes <linux@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- drivers/scsi/constants.c | 21 +++++++++++---------- 1 file changed, 11 insertions(+), 10 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/scsi/constants.c b/drivers/scsi/constants.c index 14d5069ca3ff..03f28cdcbc31 100644 --- a/drivers/scsi/constants.c +++ b/drivers/scsi/constants.c @@ -290,19 +290,19 @@ bool scsi_opcode_sa_name(int opcode, int service_action, return true; } -struct error_info { - unsigned short code12; /* 0x0302 looks better than 0x03,0x02 */ - const char * text; +static unsigned short additional_code12[] = { +#define SENSE_CODE(c, s) c +#include "sense_codes.h" +#undef SENSE_CODE }; - -static const struct error_info additional[] = -{ -#define SENSE_CODE(c, s) {c, s} +static const char *additional_text[] = { +#define SENSE_CODE(c, s) s #include "sense_codes.h" #undef SENSE_CODE }; + struct error_info2 { unsigned char code1, code2_min, code2_max; const char * str; @@ -364,11 +364,12 @@ scsi_extd_sense_format(unsigned char asc, unsigned char ascq, const char **fmt) { int i; unsigned short code = ((asc << 8) | ascq); + BUILD_BUG_ON(ARRAY_SIZE(additional_code12) != ARRAY_SIZE(additional_text)); *fmt = NULL; - for (i = 0; additional[i].text; i++) - if (additional[i].code12 == code) - return additional[i].text; + for (i = 0; additional_text[i]; i++) + if (additional_code12[i] == code) + return additional_text[i]; for (i = 0; additional2[i].fmt; i++) { if (additional2[i].code1 == asc && ascq >= additional2[i].code2_min && -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-scsi" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
