      [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.

      [NET]: move struct proto_ops to const · 90ddc4f0
      Eric Dumazet 提交于
      I noticed that some of 'struct proto_ops' used in the kernel may share
      a cache line used by locks or other heavily modified data. (default
      linker alignement is 32 bytes, and L1_CACHE_LINE is 64 or 128 at
      least)
      
      This patch makes sure a 'struct proto_ops' can be declared as const,
      so that all cpus can share all parts of it without false sharing.
      
      This is not mandatory : a driver can still use a read/write structure
      if it needs to (and eventually a __read_mostly)
      
      I made a global stubstitute to change all existing occurences to make
      them const.
      
      This should reduce the possibility of false sharing on SMP, and
      speedup some socket system calls.
