From: Tejun Heo Date: Mon, 1 Apr 2013 18:23:35 +0000 (-0700) Subject: workqueue: move hot fields of workqueue_struct to the end X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=2728fd2f098c3cc5efaf3f0433855e579d5e4f28;p=GitHub%2Fmoto-9609%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git workqueue: move hot fields of workqueue_struct to the end Move wq->flags and ->cpu_pwqs to the end of workqueue_struct and align them to the cacheline. These two fields are used in the work item issue path and thus hot. The scheduled NUMA affinity support will add dispatch table at the end of workqueue_struct and relocating these two fields will allow us hitting only single cacheline on hot paths. Note that wq->pwqs isn't moved although it currently is being used in the work item issue path for unbound workqueues. The dispatch table mentioned above will replace its use in the issue path, so it will become cold once NUMA support is implemented.
