Place struct mmu_rb_handler on cache line start like so: struct mmu_rb_handler *h; void *free_ptr; int ret; free_ptr = kzalloc(sizeof(*h) + cache_line_size() - 1, GFP_KERNEL); if (!free_ptr) return -ENOMEM; h = PTR_ALIGN(free_ptr, cache_line_size()); Additionally, move struct mmu_rb_handler fields "root" and "ops_args" to start after the next cacheline using the "____cacheline_aligned_in_smp" annotation. Allocating an additional cache_line_size() - 1 bytes to place struct mmu_rb_handler on a cache line start does increase memory consumption. However, few struct mmu_rb_handler are created when hfi1 is in use. As mmu_rb_handler->root and mmu_rb_handler->ops_args are accessed frequently, the advantage of having them both within a cache line is expected to outweigh the disadvantage of the additional memory consumption per struct mmu_rb_handler.

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.
