From 6cdbb0effc2f511ced23e46f2117e4b31d3d4a50 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Theodore Ts'o Date: Sat, 29 Oct 2011 08:24:18 -0400 Subject: fs: optimize out 16 bytes worth of padding in struct inode Rearrange the fields in struct inode so that on an x86_64 system, fields that require 8-byte alignment don't end up causing 4-byte holes in the structure. It reduces the size of struct inode from 568 bytes to 552 bytes. Also move the fields protected by i_lock (i_blocks, i_bytes, and i_size) into the same cache line as i_lock.
