Date: Wed, 30 Sep 2020 17:05:11 -0700 From: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@...nel.org> To: netdev@...r.kernel.org Cc: andrew@...n.ch, johannes@...solutions.net, jiri@...nulli.us, mkubecek@...e.cz, dsahern@...nel.org, pablo@...filter.org, Jakub Kicinski <kuba@...nel.org> Subject: [RFC net-next 2/9] genetlink: reorg struct genl_family There are holes and oversized members in struct genl_family. Before: /* size: 104, cachelines: 2, members: 16 */ After: /* size: 88, cachelines: 2, members: 16 */ The command field in struct genlmsghdr is a u8, so no point in the operation count being 32 bit. Also operation 0 is usually undefined, so we only need 255 entries. netnsok and parallel_ops are only ever initialized to true. We can grow the fields as needed, compiler should warn us if someone tries to assign larger constants.
