Currently, we end up wasting some memory in each vm_area_struct. Pahole states that: [...] int vm_lock_seq; /* 40 4 */ /* XXX 4 bytes hole, try to pack */ struct vma_lock * vm_lock; /* 48 8 */ bool detached; /* 56 1 */ /* XXX 7 bytes hole, try to pack */ [...] Let's reduce the holes and memory wastage by moving the bool: [...] bool detached; /* 40 1 */ /* XXX 3 bytes hole, try to pack */ int vm_lock_seq; /* 44 4 */ struct vma_lock * vm_lock; /* 48 8 */ [...] Effectively shrinking the vm_area_struct with CONFIG_PER_VMA_LOCK by 8 byte. Likely, we could place "detached" in the lowest bit of vm_lock, but at least on 64bit that won't really make a difference, so keep it simple.
