Subject: [Cake] [PATCH net-next] net/sched: cake: avoid separate allocation of struct cake_sched_config
Date: Tue, 13 Jan 2026 15:31:56 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260113143157.2581680-1-toke@redhat.com> (raw)
Paolo pointed out that we can avoid separately allocating struct
cake_sched_config even in the non-mq case, by embedding it into struct
cake_sched_data. This reduces the complexity of the logic that swaps the
pointers and frees the old value, at the cost of adding 56 bytes to the
latter. Since cake_sched_data is already almost 17k bytes, this seems
like a reasonable tradeoff.
