The quilt patch titled Subject: ratelimit: convert flags to int to save 8 bytes in size has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was ratelimit-convert-flags-to-int-to-save-8-bytes-in-size.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-nonmm-stable branch of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm ------------------------------------------------------ From: Mateusz Guzik <mjguzik@xxxxxxxxx> Subject: ratelimit: convert flags to int to save 8 bytes in size Date: Sat, 17 Aug 2024 14:37:54 +0200 Only bit 1 is used, making an unsigned long a total overkill. This brings it from 40 to 32 bytes, which in turn shrinks user_struct from 136 to 128 bytes. Since the latter is allocated with hwalign, this means the total usage goes down from 192 to 128 bytes per object. No functional changes.
