mainlining shenanigans
4c4c0a89ab
mlx5_rl_entry structure is not properly packed as shown below. Due to this
an array of size 9144 bytes allocated which is aligned to 16Kbytes.
Hence, pack the structure and avoid the wastage.
This offers 8Kbytes of saving per mlx5_core_dev struct.
pahole -C mlx5_rl_entry drivers/net/ethernet/mellanox/mlx5/core/en_main.o
Existing layout:
struct mlx5_rl_entry {
u8 rl_raw[48]; /* 0 48 */
u16 index; /* 48 2 */
/* XXX 6 bytes hole, try to pack */
u64 refcount; /* 56 8 */
/* --- cacheline 1 boundary (64 bytes) --- */
u16 uid; /* 64 2 */
u8 dedicated:1; /* 66: 0 1 */
/* size: 72, cachelines: 2, members: 5 */
/* sum members: 60, holes: 1, sum holes: 6 */
/* sum bitfield members: 1 bits (0 bytes) */
/* padding: 5 */
/* bit_padding: 7 bits */
/* last cacheline: 8 bytes */
};
After alignment:
struct mlx5_rl_entry {
u8 rl_raw[48]; /* 0 48 */
u64 refcount; /* 48 8 */
u16 index; /* 56 2 */
u16 uid; /* 58 2 */
u8 dedicated:1; /* 60: 0 1 */
/* size: 64, cachelines: 1, members: 5 */
/* padding: 3 */
/* bit_padding: 7 bits */
};

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
