Another requirement of the alignment is that it should be the power of 2. Otherwise, for example, if someone adds a field to struct, so that the size becomes 40 on x86_64. The alignment should be 64 instead of 40. Best Regards, Huang, Ying > /* total number of cpus in this system (may exceed NR_CPUS) */ > extern unsigned int total_cpus; > [snip]
