Currently the io_rsrc_node assignment in io_kiocb is an array of two pointers, as two nodes may be assigned to a request - one file node, and one buffer node. However, the buffer node can co-exist with the provided buffers, as currently it's not supported to use both provided and registered buffers at the same time. This crucially brings struct io_kiocb down to 4 cache lines again, as before it spilled into the 5th cacheline. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk>
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.
