From 2077006d4725c82c6e9612cec3a6c140921b067f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Christian Brauner Date: Tue, 10 Sep 2024 10:16:39 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] uidgid: make sure we fit into one cacheline When I expanded uidgid mappings I intended for a struct uid_gid_map to fit into a single cacheline on x86 as they tend to be pretty performance sensitive (idmapped mounts etc). But a 4 byte hole was added that brought it over 64 bytes. Fix that by adding the static extent array and the extent counter into a substruct. C's type punning for unions guarantees that we can access ->nr_extents even if the last written to member wasn't within the same object. This is also what we rely on in struct_group() and friends. This of course relies on non-strict aliasing which we don't do. 99) If the member used to read the contents of a union object is not the same as the member last used to store a value in the object, the appropriate part of the object representation of the value is reinterpreted as an object representation in the new type as described in 6.2.6 (a process sometimes called "type punning").
