Linux kernel source tree

In fact, this structure contains a flexible array at the end, but historically its size, alignment etc., is calculated manually. There are several instances of the structure embedded into other structures, but also there's ongoing effort to remove them and we could in the meantime declare &net_device properly. Declare the array explicitly, use struct_size() and store the array size inside the structure, so that __counted_by() can be applied. Don't use PTR_ALIGN(), as SLUB itself tries its best to ensure the allocated buffer is aligned to what the user expects. Also, change its alignment from %NETDEV_ALIGN to the cacheline size as per several suggestions on the netdev ML. bloat-o-meter for vmlinux: free_netdev 445 440 -5 netdev_freemem 24 - -24 alloc_netdev_mqs 1481 1450 -31 On x86_64 with several NICs of different vendors, I was never able to get a &net_device pointer not aligned to the cacheline size after the change.

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 reStructuredText 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.
