Subject: mm/vma.h: optimise vma_munmap_struct
Date: Fri, 30 Aug 2024 00:01:01 -0400
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 */
};
