From 5fdb9973c10c2d2e046da0976782ece25e78dc8b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Dumazet Date: Thu, 8 Oct 2009 22:50:25 +0000 Subject: net: Fix struct sock bitfield annotation Since commit a98b65a3 (net: annotate struct sock bitfield), we lost 8 bytes in struct sock on 64bit arches because of kmemcheck_bitfield_end(flags) misplacement. Fix this by putting together sk_shutdown, sk_no_check, sk_userlocks, sk_protocol and sk_type in the 'flags' 32bits bitfield Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: David S.

It may be possible to remove this requirement after a careful audit of mac80211 and doing any needed locking improvements in it along with disabling softirqs around netif_rx(). An alternative might be to push all packet processing to process context in mac80211, instead of to the tasklet, and add other synchronisation. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg Signed-off-by: John W.
