Structure mlx5_vport_info consumes 40 bytes of space due to a hole
in it. After packing it reduces to 32 bytes.
Currently:
pahole -C mlx5_vport_info drivers/net/ethernet/mellanox/mlx5/core/eswitch.o
struct mlx5_vport_info {
u8 mac[6]; /* 0 6 */
u16 vlan; /* 6 2 */
u8 qos; /* 8 1 */
/* XXX 7 bytes hole, try to pack */
u64 node_guid; /* 16 8 */
int link_state; /* 24 4 */
u32 min_rate; /* 28 4 */
u32 max_rate; /* 32 4 */
bool spoofchk; /* 36 1 */
bool trusted; /* 37 1 */
/* size: 40, cachelines: 1, members: 9 */
/* sum members: 31, holes: 1, sum holes: 7 */
/* padding: 2 */
/* last cacheline: 40 bytes */
};
After packing:
$ pahole -C mlx5_vport_info drivers/net/ethernet/mellanox/mlx5/core/eswitch.o
struct mlx5_vport_info {
u8 mac[6]; /* 0 6 */
u16 vlan; /* 6 2 */
u64 node_guid; /* 8 8 */
int link_state; /* 16 4 */
u32 min_rate; /* 20 4 */
u32 max_rate; /* 24 4 */
u8 qos; /* 28 1 */
u8 spoofchk:1; /* 29: 0 1 */
u8 trusted:1; /* 29: 1 1 */
/* size: 32, cachelines: 1, members: 9 */
/* padding: 2 */
/* bit_padding: 6 bits */
/* last cacheline: 32 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.
