From: Hugo Villeneuve <hvilleneuve@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Running pahole shows that there are some holes within the max310x_devtype structure. Remove holes and optimize alignment by reorganizing structure members. This can also lead to data structure size reduction for some CPUs. On 64-bit CPU (arm64): Before: /* size: 40, cachelines: 1, members: 6 */ /* sum members: 34, holes: 2, sum holes: 6 */ /* last cacheline: 40 bytes */ After: /* size: 40, cachelines: 1, members: 6 */ /* padding: 6 */ /* last cacheline: 40 bytes */ On 32-bit CPU (i386): Before: /* size: 32, cachelines: 1, members: 6 */ /* sum members: 26, holes: 2, sum holes: 6 */ /* last cacheline: 32 bytes */ After: /* size: 24, cachelines: 1, members: 8 */ /* padding: 2 */ /* last cacheline: 24 bytes */ Signed-off-by: Hugo Villeneuve <hvilleneuve@xxxxxxxxxxxx> --- drivers/tty/serial/max310x.c | 4 ++-- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/tty/serial/max310x.c b/drivers/tty/serial/max310x.c index 27c8ec956691..21f2fa3a91e5 100644 --- a/drivers/tty/serial/max310x.c +++ b/drivers/tty/serial/max310x.c @@ -258,11 +258,11 @@ struct max310x_devtype { unsigned short min; unsigned short max; } slave_addr; - char name[9]; int nr; - u8 mode1; int (*detect)(struct device *); void (*power)(struct uart_port *, int); + char name[9]; + u8 mode1; }; struct max310x_one { -- 2.39.2
