From 2f51201662b28dbf8c15fb7eb972bc51c6cc3fa5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Dumazet Date: Sun, 30 Oct 2005 15:02:16 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] reduce sizeof(struct file) Now that RCU applied on 'struct file' seems stable, we can place f_rcuhead in a memory location that is not anymore used at call_rcu(&f->f_rcuhead, file_free_rcu) time, to reduce the size of this critical kernel object. The trick I used is to move f_rcuhead and f_list in an union called f_u The callers are changed so that f_rcuhead becomes f_u.fu_rcuhead and f_list becomes f_u.f_list Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds --- fs/dquot.c | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) (limited to 'fs/dquot.c') diff --git a/fs/dquot.c b/fs/dquot.c index 05f3327d64a..ea7644227a6 100644 --- a/fs/dquot.c +++ b/fs/dquot.c @@ -662,7 +662,7 @@ static void add_dquot_ref(struct super_block *sb, int type) restart: file_list_lock(); list_for_each(p, &sb->s_files) { - struct file *filp = list_entry(p, struct file, f_list); + struct file *filp = list_entry(p, struct file, f_u.fu_list); struct inode *inode = filp->f_dentry->d_inode; if (filp->f_mode & FMODE_WRITE && dqinit_needed(inode, type)) { struct dentry *dentry = dget(filp->f_dentry); -- cgit v1.2.3-18-g5258
