net: force dst_default_metrics to const section
While investigating on network performance problems, I found this little gem : $ nm -v vmlinux | grep -1 dst_default_metrics ffffffff82736540 b busy.46605 ffffffff82736560 B dst_default_metrics ffffffff82736598 b dst_busy_list Apparently, declaring a const array without initializer put it in (writeable) bss section, in middle of possibly often dirtied cache lines. Since we really want dst_default_metrics be const to avoid any possible false sharing and catch any buggy writes, I force a null initializer. ffffffff818a4c20 R dst_default_metrics Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Cc: Ben Hutchings <bhutchings@solarflare.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
