From f867bac65419a98c9682f4409e087582d29ec5f6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Dumazet Date: Sun, 8 Jan 2006 01:03:40 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] remove unused blkp field in percpu_data I found that blkp field was not used in kernel tree. As most of the times NR_CPUS is a power of two and kmalloc() memory blocks too, this extra field basically doubles the memory space allocated in __alloc_percpu() to store the 'struct percpu_data' (for example, if NR_CPUS=8 on i386, kmalloc(4*8+4) returns a 64 bytes block instead of a 32 bytes block after this patch) Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds --- include/linux/percpu.h | 1 - 1 file changed, 1 deletion(-) (limited to 'include') diff --git a/include/linux/percpu.h b/include/linux/percpu.h index 20317d8..cb9039a 100644 --- a/include/linux/percpu.h +++ b/include/linux/percpu.h @@ -19,7 +19,6 @@ struct percpu_data { void *ptrs[NR_CPUS]; - void *blkp; }; /* -- cgit v1.1
