Linux kernel source tree

Jakub Kicinski says: ==================== net: skbuff: hide some bitfield members There is a number of protocol or subsystem specific fields in struct sk_buff which are only accessed by one subsystem. We can wrap them in ifdefs with minimal code impact. This gives us a better chance to save a 2B and a 4B holes resulting with the following savings (assuming a lucky kernel config): - /* size: 232, cachelines: 4, members: 28 */ - /* sum members: 227, holes: 1, sum holes: 4 */ - /* sum bitfield members: 8 bits (1 bytes) */ + /* size: 224, cachelines: 4, members: 28 */ /* forced alignments: 2 */ - /* last cacheline: 40 bytes */ + /* last cacheline: 32 bytes */ I think that the changes shouldn't be too controversial. The only one I'm not 100% sure of is the SCTP one, 12 extra LoC for one bit.. But it did fit squarely in the "this bit has only one user" category. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

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 Restructured Text 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.
