Use more efficient structure ordering by using the pahole tool and a lot of code inspection to get hot cache lines to have packed data (no holes if possible) and adjacent warm data. ice_ring prior to this change: /* size: 192, cachelines: 3, members: 23 */ /* sum members: 158, holes: 4, sum holes: 12 */ /* padding: 22 */ ice_ring after this change: /* size: 192, cachelines: 3, members: 25 */ /* sum members: 162, holes: 1, sum holes: 1 */ /* padding: 29 */ ice_tx_buf prior to this change: /* size: 48, cachelines: 1, members: 7 */ /* sum members: 38, holes: 2, sum holes: 6 */ /* padding: 4 */ /* last cacheline: 48 bytes */ ice_tx_buf after this change: /* size: 40, cachelines: 1, members: 7 */ /* sum members: 38, holes: 1, sum holes: 2 */ /* last cacheline: 40 bytes */ Signed-off-by: Jesse Brandeburg <jesse.brandeburg@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Anirudh Venkataramanan <anirudh.venkataramanan@intel.com> Tested-by: Andrew Bowers <andrewx.bowers@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Jeff Kirsher <jeffrey.t.kirsher@intel.com>
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.
