And I absolutely hate arguments like "oh there's still 14 bytes in there", because then there's 6, then there's none, and now we're going into the next cacheline. io_kiocb is already too fat, it should be getting slimmer, not bigger. And the append write stuff is not nearly interesting enough to a) grow io_kiocb, b) warrant a special case for op private data in the io_kiocb itself. -- Jens Axboe
