The .bd_inode field of block_device is used in IO fast path of blkdev_write_iter() and blkdev_llseek(), so it is more efficient to keep it into the 1st cacheline. .bd_openers is only touched in open()/close(), and .bd_size_lock is only for updating bdev capacity, which is in slow path too. So swap .bd_inode layout with .bd_openers & .bd_size_lock to move .bd_inode into the 1st cache line.

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.
