Previous patches leave lots of holes and padding in this struct. This patch reorders the members and shrinks the struct down to 80 bytes (from 136 bytes, before any field shrinking is done) with 16 bits to spare (and a couple more in in_pack_header_size when we really run out of bits).Out of curiosity, did you count this yourself, or did you double-check with a few compilers to make sure they all produce the same result?
I used pahole though only with .o files created by gcc 64-bit. I'll try the 32-bit version and clang as well. -- Duy
