Currently btrfs uses fixed stripe length (64K), thus u32 is wide enough for the usage. Furthermore, even in the future we choose to enlarge stripe length to larger values, I don't believe we would want stripe as large as 4G or larger. So this patch will reduce the width for all in-memory structures and parameters, this involves: - RAID56 related function argument lists This allows us to do direct division related to stripe_len. Although we will use bits shift to replace the division anyway. - btrfs_io_geometry structure This involves one change to simplify the calculation of both @stripe_nr and @stripe_offset, using div64_u64_rem(). And add extra sanity check to make sure @stripe_offset is always small enough for u32. This saves 8 bytes for the structure. - map_lookup structure This convert @stripe_len to u32, which saves 8 bytes. (saved 4 bytes, and removed a 4-bytes hole) Signed-off-by: Qu Wenruo <wqu@suse.com> Reviewed-by: David Sterba <dsterba@suse.com> Signed-off-by: David Sterba <dsterba@suse.com>
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.
