You might want to read carefully what Linus wrote: > The one that already has a 4 byte padding thing on x86-64 just after the > spinlock? And that on 32-bit x86 (with less than 256 CPU's) would have two > bytes of padding if we didn't just make the spinlock type unconditionally > 32 bits rather than the 16 bits we actually _use_? So you need to add the flag _after_ ->lock and _before_ ->head....
