Subject: lib: reorder prop_local_percpu to remove 64 bit alignment padding
Date: Mon, 11 Jul 2011 15:38:34 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1310395114.3058.16.camel@castor.rsk> (raw)

Reorder prop_local_percpu to remove 8 bytes of alignment padding in 64
bit builds, and therefore shrink backing_dev_info & request_queue by 8
bytes.
    
    
Signed-off-by: Richard Kennedy <richard@rsk.demon.co.uk>

---
patch against v3.0-rc6
compiled & tested on x86_64

I'm not entirely sure which tree this should go through but as it
indirectly removes padding from request_queue I guessed Jens tree?

get_maintainers doesn't know either, it thinks I should send it to
myself :) 


regards
Richard
