I think this is being placed towards the front of the data structure for cache line locality given this is a hot path for file operations. But bool types have an implementation dependent size, making them difficult to pack. Also there will be a tendency to want to make this a bit field, which is probably not compatible with the smp lockless operations being used here. We might get in front of these issues if we just define it as a u8 now.

Before your question, let me describe how I place the fields of this structure to see if it is common practice. The first two fields are static, so they are in the beginning. The access_granted is lockless and other fields are protected by locks. So I tried to put the lock and the fields it protects closely. So this is why I put devid behind iommufd as both are protected by the same lock. struct vfio_device_file { struct vfio_device *device; struct vfio_group *group; bool access_granted; spinlock_t kvm_ref_lock; /* protect kvm field */ struct kvm *kvm; struct iommufd_ctx *iommufd; /* protected by struct vfio_device_set::lock */ u32 devid; /* only valid when iommufd is valid */ }; > > I think this is being placed towards the front of the data structure > for cache line locality given this is a hot path for file operations. > But bool types have an implementation dependent size, making them > difficult to pack.

And should I define the access_granted as u8 or "u8:1"?

I think the primary considerations are locality and compactness. Hot paths data should be within the first cache line of the structure, related data should share a cache line, and we should use the space efficiently. What you describe seems largely an aesthetic concern, which was not evident to me by the segmentation alone. > struct vfio_device_file { > struct vfio_device *device; > struct vfio_group *group; > > bool access_granted; > spinlock_t kvm_ref_lock; /* protect kvm field */ > struct kvm *kvm; > struct iommufd_ctx *iommufd; /* protected by struct vfio_device_set::lock */ > u32 devid; /* only valid when iommufd is valid */ > }; > > > > > I think this is being placed towards the front of the data structure > > for cache line locality given this is a hot path for file operations. > > But bool types have an implementation dependent size, making them > > difficult to pack.

Could you elaborate a bit? And should I define > the access_granted as u8 or "u8:1"? Perhaps FUD on my part, but load-acquire type operations have specific semantics and it's not clear to me that they interest with compiler generated bit operations.
