mm: store compound_dtor / compound_order as bytes
Neither of these values get even close to 256; compound_dtor is currently at a maximum of 3, and compound_order can't be over 64. No machine has inefficient access to bytes since EV5, and while those are still supported, we don't optimise for them any more. This does not shrink struct page, but it removes an ifdef and frees up 2-6 bytes for future use. diff of pahole output: struct callback_head callback_head; /* 32 16 */ struct { long unsigned int compound_head; /* 32 8 */ - unsigned int compound_dtor; /* 40 4 */ - unsigned int compound_order; /* 44 4 */ + unsigned char compound_dtor; /* 40 1 */ + unsigned char compound_order; /* 41 1 */ }; /* 32 16 */ }; /* 32 16 */ union { [mawilcox@microsoft.com: add comment] Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20171221000144.GB2980@bombadil.infradead.org Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20171220155552.15884-7-willy@infradead.org Signed-off-by: Matthew Wilcox <mawilcox@microsoft.com> Acked-by: Kirill A.
