[PATCH 4.14 48/74] block: unalign call_single_data in struct request

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

 



4.14-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Jens Axboe <axboe@xxxxxxxxx>

commit 4ccafe032005e9b96acbef2e389a4de5b1254add upstream.

A previous change blindly added massive alignment to the
call_single_data structure in struct request. This ballooned it in size
from 296 to 320 bytes on my setup, for no valid reason at all.

Use the unaligned struct __call_single_data variant instead.

Fixes: 966a967116e69 ("smp: Avoid using two cache lines for struct call_single_data")
