      [PATCH] shrink dentry struct · 5160ee6f
      Eric Dumazet 提交于
      Some long time ago, dentry struct was carefully tuned so that on 32 bits
      UP, sizeof(struct dentry) was exactly 128, ie a power of 2, and a multiple
      of memory cache lines.
      
      Then RCU was added and dentry struct enlarged by two pointers, with nice
      results for SMP, but not so good on UP, because breaking the above tuning
      (128 + 8 = 136 bytes)
      
      This patch reverts this unwanted side effect, by using an union (d_u),
      where d_rcu and d_child are placed so that these two fields can share their
      memory needs.
      
      At the time d_free() is called (and d_rcu is really used), d_child is known
      to be empty and not touched by the dentry freeing.
      
      Lockless lookups only access d_name, d_parent, d_lock, d_op, d_flags (so
      the previous content of d_child is not needed if said dentry was unhashed
      but still accessed by a CPU because of RCU constraints)
      
      As dentry cache easily contains millions of entries, a size reduction is
      worth the extra complexity of the ugly C union.

      [PATCH] slab: remove unused align parameter from alloc_percpu · f9f75005
      Pekka Enberg 提交于
      __alloc_percpu and alloc_percpu both take an 'align' argument which is
      completely ignored.  snmp6_mib_init() in net/ipv6/af_inet6.c attempts to use
      it, but it will be ignored.  Therefore, remove the 'align' argument and fixup
      the lone caller.
