Subject: Re: [PATCH v2 net-next 2/3] tuntap: reduce the size of tun_struct
 by  using flex array.

Sorry! forgot to cc Michael, doing now.
> 
> This patch switches to flex array to implement the flow caches, it brings
> several advantages:
> 
> - Reduce the size of the tun_struct structure, which allows us to increase

> - Avoid higher order memory allocation. It will be useful when switching to

> After this patch, the size of tun_struct on x86_64 reduced from 8512 to
