Several members of compressed_bio are of type that's unnecessarily big
for the values that they'd hold:
- the size of the uncompressed and compressed data is 128K now, we can
keep is as int
- same for number of pages
- the compress type fits to a byte
- the errors is 0/1
The size of the unpatched structure is 80 bytes with several holes.
Reordering nr_pages next to the pages the hole after pending_bios is
filled and the resulting size is 56 bytes. This keeps the csums array
aligned to 8 bytes, which is nice. Further size optimizations may be
possible but right now it looks good to me:
struct compressed_bio {
refcount_t pending_bios; /* 0 4 */
unsigned int nr_pages; /* 4 4 */
struct page * * compressed_pages; /* 8 8 */
struct inode * inode; /* 16 8 */
u64 start; /* 24 8 */
unsigned int len; /* 32 4 */
unsigned int compressed_len; /* 36 4 */
u8 compress_type; /* 40 1 */
u8 errors; /* 41 1 */
/* XXX 2 bytes hole, try to pack */
int mirror_num; /* 44 4 */
struct bio * orig_bio; /* 48 8 */
u8 sums[]; /* 56 0 */
/* size: 56, cachelines: 1, members: 12 */
/* sum members: 54, holes: 1, sum holes: 2 */
/* last cacheline: 56 bytes */
};

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
