Reduce holes in struct virtio_vsock_skb_cb. As this struct continues to grow, we want to keep it trimmed down so it doesn't exceed the size of skb->cb (currently 48 bytes). Eliminating the 2 byte hole provides an additional two bytes for new fields at the end of the structure. It does not shrink the total size, however.
Future work could include combining fields like reply and tap_delivered into a single bitfield, but currently doing so will not make the total struct size smaller (although, would extend the tail-end padding area by one byte).
Before this patch:
struct virtio_vsock_skb_cb { bool reply; /* 0 1 */ bool tap_delivered; /* 1 1 */
/* XXX 2 bytes hole, try to pack */
u32 offset; /* 4 4 */
/* size: 8, cachelines: 1, members: 3 */ /* sum members: 6, holes: 1, sum holes: 2 */ /* last cacheline: 8 bytes */ }; ;
After this patch:
struct virtio_vsock_skb_cb { u32 offset; /* 0 4 */ bool reply; /* 4 1 */ bool tap_delivered; /* 5 1 */
/* size: 8, cachelines: 1, members: 3 */ /* padding: 2 */ /* last cacheline: 8 bytes */ };
