From 73dca124cdbad2d67d47d6196c08325f18447d07 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Xin Long Date: Thu, 29 Sep 2016 02:37:26 +0800 Subject: sctp: move sent_count to the memory hole in sctp_chunk Now pahole sctp_chunk, it has 2 memory holes: struct sctp_chunk { struct list_head list; atomic_t refcnt; /* XXX 4 bytes hole, try to pack */ ... long unsigned int prsctp_param; int sent_count; /* XXX 4 bytes hole, try to pack */ This patch is to move up sent_count to fill the 1st one and eliminate the 2nd one. It's not just another struct compaction, it also fixes the "netperf- Throughput_Mbps -37.2% regression" issue when overloading the CPU.
