There are holes and oversized members in struct genl_family. Before: /* size: 104, cachelines: 2, members: 16 */ After: /* size: 88, cachelines: 2, members: 16 */ The command field in struct genlmsghdr is a u8, so no point in the operation count being 32 bit. Also operation 0 is usually undefined, so we only need 255 entries. netnsok and parallel_ops are only ever initialized to true. We can grow the fields as needed, compiler should warn us if someone tries to assign larger constants.

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.
