[PATCH] spi: Reorder fields in 'struct spi_message'

From: Christophe JAILLET
Date: Wed Mar 01 2023 - 15:59:06 EST


Group some variables based on their sizes to reduce hole and avoid padding.
On x86_64, this shrinks the size from 112 to 96 bytes.

This should have no real impact on memory allocation because 'struct
spi_message' is mostly used on stack, but it can save a few cycles
when the structure is initialized with spi_message_init() and co.

Using pahole

Before:
======
struct spi_message {
struct list_head transfers; /* 0 16 */
struct spi_device * spi; /* 16 8 */
unsigned int is_dma_mapped:1; /* 24: 0 4 */

/* XXX 31 bits hole, try to pack */
/* XXX 4 bytes hole, try to pack */

void (*complete)(void *); /* 32 8 */
void * context; /* 40 8 */
unsigned int frame_length; /* 48 4 */
unsigned int actual_length; /* 52 4 */
int status; /* 56 4 */

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

/* --- cacheline 1 boundary (64 bytes) --- */
struct list_head queue; /* 64 16 */
void * state; /* 80 8 */
struct list_head resources; /* 88 16 */
bool prepared; /* 104 1 */

/* size: 112, cachelines: 2, members: 12 */
/* sum members: 93, holes: 2, sum holes: 8 */
/* sum bitfield members: 1 bits, bit holes: 1, sum bit holes: 31 bits */
/* padding: 7 */
/* last cacheline: 48 bytes */
};


After:
=====
struct spi_message {
struct list_head transfers; /* 0 16 */
struct spi_device * spi; /* 16 8 */
unsigned int is_dma_mapped:1; /* 24: 0 4 */

/* XXX 7 bits hole, try to pack */
/* Bitfield combined with next fields */

bool prepared; /* 25 1 */

/* XXX 2 bytes hole, try to pack */

int status; /* 28 4 */
void (*complete)(void *); /* 32 8 */
void * context; /* 40 8 */
unsigned int frame_length; /* 48 4 */
unsigned int actual_length; /* 52 4 */
struct list_head queue; /* 56 16 */
/* --- cacheline 1 boundary (64 bytes) was 8 bytes ago --- */
void * state; /* 72 8 */
struct list_head resources; /* 80 16 */

/* size: 96, cachelines: 2, members: 12 */
/* sum members: 93, holes: 1, sum holes: 2 */
/* sum bitfield members: 1 bits, bit holes: 1, sum bit holes: 7 bits */
/* last cacheline: 32 bytes */
};
