It's clearly been a while since someone looked at this, so I gave it a quick shot. There are few issues in here: - Random bundling of members that are mostly read-only and often written - Random holes that need not be there This moves the most frequently used bits into cacheline 1 and 2, with the 2nd one being more write intensive than the first one, which is basically read-only. Outside of making this work a bit more efficiently, it also reduces the size of struct request_queue for my test setup from 864 bytes (spanning 14 cachelines!) to 832 bytes and 13 cachelines.

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.
