Audit: reorganize struct audit_watch to save 8 bytes
pahole showed that struct audit_watch had two holes:
struct audit_watch {
atomic_t count; /* 0 4 */
/* XXX 4 bytes hole, try to pack */
char * path; /* 8 8 */
dev_t dev; /* 16 4 */
/* XXX 4 bytes hole, try to pack */
long unsigned int ino; /* 24 8 */
struct audit_parent * parent; /* 32 8 */
struct list_head wlist; /* 40 16 */
struct list_head rules; /* 56 16 */
/* --- cacheline 1 boundary (64 bytes) was 8 bytes ago --- */
/* size: 72, cachelines: 2, members: 7 */
/* sum members: 64, holes: 2, sum holes: 8 */
/* last cacheline: 8 bytes */
}; /* definitions: 1 */
by moving dev after count we save 8 bytes, actually improving cacheline
usage. There are typically very few of these in the kernel so it won't be
a large savings, but it's a good thing no matter what.
