tcp: shrink tcp6_timewait_sock by one cache line
While working on tcp listener refactoring, I found that it would really make things easier if sock_common could include the IPv6 addresses needed in the lookups, instead of doing very complex games to get their values (depending on sock being SYN_RECV, ESTABLISHED, TIME_WAIT) For this to happen, I need to be sure that tcp6_timewait_sock and tcp_timewait_sock consume same number of cache lines. This is possible if we only use 32bits for tw_ttd, as we remove one 32bit hole in inet_timewait_sock inet_tw_time_stamp() is defined and used, even if its current implementation looks like tcp_time_stamp : We might need finer resolution for tcp_time_stamp in the future. Before patch : sizeof(struct tcp6_timewait_sock) = 0xc8 After patch : sizeof(struct tcp6_timewait_sock) = 0xc0 Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
