[PATCH] dmaengine: Reorder fields in 'struct dma_slave_config'

From: Christophe JAILLET
Date: Fri Feb 17 2023 - 09:23:30 EST


Group some variables based on their sizes to reduce hole and avoid padding.
On x86_64, this shrinks the size of 'struct dma_slave_config'
from 72 to 64 bytes.

This should save a few bytes of memory and a few cycles.

Using pahole

Before:
======
struct dma_slave_config {
enum dma_transfer_direction direction; /* 0 4 */

/* XXX 4 bytes hole, try to pack */

phys_addr_t src_addr; /* 8 8 */
phys_addr_t dst_addr; /* 16 8 */
enum dma_slave_buswidth src_addr_width; /* 24 4 */
enum dma_slave_buswidth dst_addr_width; /* 28 4 */
u32 src_maxburst; /* 32 4 */
u32 dst_maxburst; /* 36 4 */
u32 src_port_window_size; /* 40 4 */
u32 dst_port_window_size; /* 44 4 */
bool device_fc; /* 48 1 */

/* XXX 7 bytes hole, try to pack */

void * peripheral_config; /* 56 8 */
/* --- cacheline 1 boundary (64 bytes) --- */
size_t peripheral_size; /* 64 8 */

/* size: 72, cachelines: 2, members: 12 */
/* sum members: 61, holes: 2, sum holes: 11 */
/* last cacheline: 8 bytes */
};

After:
=====
struct dma_slave_config {
enum dma_transfer_direction direction; /* 0 4 */
bool device_fc; /* 4 1 */

/* XXX 3 bytes hole, try to pack */

phys_addr_t src_addr; /* 8 8 */
phys_addr_t dst_addr; /* 16 8 */
enum dma_slave_buswidth src_addr_width; /* 24 4 */
enum dma_slave_buswidth dst_addr_width; /* 28 4 */
u32 src_maxburst; /* 32 4 */
u32 dst_maxburst; /* 36 4 */
u32 src_port_window_size; /* 40 4 */
u32 dst_port_window_size; /* 44 4 */
void * peripheral_config; /* 48 8 */
size_t peripheral_size; /* 56 8 */

/* size: 64, cachelines: 1, members: 12 */
/* sum members: 61, holes: 1, sum holes: 3 */
};
