From bf1c3ab8d3571db8a973b0c46c5aa963b30d9a82 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Paolo Abeni Date: Wed, 28 Nov 2018 17:37:53 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] net: reorder flowi_common fields to avoid holes the flowi* structures are used and memsetted by server functions in critical path. Currently flowi_common has a couple of holes that we can eliminate reordering the struct fields. As a side effect, both flowi4 and flowi6 shrink by 8 bytes. Before: pahole -EC flowi_common struct flowi_common { // ... /* size: 40, cachelines: 1, members: 10 */ /* sum members: 32, holes: 1, sum holes: 4 */ /* padding: 4 */ /* last cacheline: 40 bytes */ }; pahole -EC flowi6 struct flowi6 { // ... /* size: 88, cachelines: 2, members: 6 */ /* padding: 4 */ /* last cacheline: 24 bytes */ }; pahole -EC flowi4 struct flowi4 { // ... /* size: 56, cachelines: 1, members: 4 */ /* padding: 4 */ /* last cacheline: 56 bytes */ }; After: struct flowi_common { // ... /* size: 32, cachelines: 1, members: 10 */ /* last cacheline: 32 bytes */ }; struct flowi6 { // ... /* size: 80, cachelines: 2, members: 6 */ /* padding: 4 */ /* last cacheline: 16 bytes */ }; struct flowi4 { // ... /* size: 48, cachelines: 1, members: 4 */ /* padding: 4 */ /* last cacheline: 48 bytes */ }; Signed-off-by: Paolo Abeni Signed-off-by: David S.
