Subject: fs: remove 8 bytes of padding from block_device on 64bit builds
Date: Mon, 14 Feb 2011 16:39:26 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1297701566.2014.6.camel@castor.rsk> (raw)

Re-ordering struct block_inode to remove 8 bytes of padding on 64 bit
builds, which also shrinks bdev_inode by 8 bytes (776 -> 768) allowing
it to fit into one fewer cache lines.
    
Signed-off-by: Richard Kennedy <richard@rsk.demon.co.uk>
------
patch against v2.6.38-rc4
compiled & tested on x86_64

regards
Richard
