net: sched: shrink struct Qdisc
The struct Qdisc has a lot of holes, especially after commit a53851e2 ("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 <pabeni@redhat.com> Acked-by: Jiri Pirko <jiri@mellanox.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
