From e9be0e993d95adbe5efe0e0f03b2a3e71f5bb2b6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Paolo Abeni Date: Fri, 25 May 2018 16:28:44 +0200 Subject: net: sched: shrink struct Qdisc The struct Qdisc has a lot of holes, especially after commit a53851e2c321 ("net: sched: explicit locking in gso_cpu fallback"), which as a side effect, moved the fields just after 'busylock' on a new cacheline. Since both 'padded' and 'refcnt' are not updated frequently, and there is a hole before 'gso_skb', we can move such fields there, saving a cacheline without any performance side effect. Before this commit: pahole -C Qdisc net/sche/sch_generic.o # ... /* size: 384, cachelines: 6, members: 25 */ /* sum members: 236, holes: 3, sum holes: 92 */ /* padding: 56 */ After this commit: pahole -C Qdisc net/sche/sch_generic.o # ... /* size: 320, cachelines: 5, members: 25 */ /* sum members: 236, holes: 2, sum holes: 28 */ /* padding: 56 */ Signed-off-by: Paolo Abeni Acked-by: Jiri Pirko Signed-off-by: David S.
