[PATCH] virtio: Reorder fields in 'struct virtqueue'

[Christophe JAILLET]

Group some variables based on their sizes to reduce hole and avoid padding.
On x86_64, this shrinks the size of 'struct virtqueue'
from 72 to 68 bytes.

It saves a few bytes of memory.

Using pahole

Before:
======
struct virtqueue {
	struct list_head           list;                 /*     0    16 */
	void                       (*callback)(struct virtqueue *); /*    16     8 */
	const char  *              name;                 /*    24     8 */
	struct virtio_device *     vdev;                 /*    32     8 */
	unsigned int               index;                /*    40     4 */
	unsigned int               num_free;             /*    44     4 */
	unsigned int               num_max;              /*    48     4 */

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

	void *                     priv;                 /*    56     8 */
	/* --- cacheline 1 boundary (64 bytes) --- */
	bool                       reset;                /*    64     1 */

	/* size: 72, cachelines: 2, members: 9 */
	/* sum members: 61, holes: 1, sum holes: 4 */
	/* padding: 7 */
	/* last cacheline: 8 bytes */
};

After:
=====
struct virtqueue {
	struct list_head           list;                 /*     0    16 */
	void                       (*callback)(struct virtqueue *); /*    16     8 */
	const char  *              name;                 /*    24     8 */
	struct virtio_device *     vdev;                 /*    32     8 */
	unsigned int               index;                /*    40     4 */
	unsigned int               num_free;             /*    44     4 */
	unsigned int               num_max;              /*    48     4 */
	bool                       reset;                /*    52     1 */

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

	void *                     priv;                 /*    56     8 */

	/* size: 64, cachelines: 1, members: 9 */
	/* sum members: 61, holes: 1, sum holes: 3 */
};
