net/mlx5: Pack mlx5_rl_entry structure
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 */ }; Signed-off-by: Parav Pandit <parav@nvidia.com> Signed-off-by: Saeed Mahameed <saeedm@nvidia.com>
