From 1caf8d39c58f3f63193d02928c8dce3fa07cee52 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Dumazet Date: Wed, 31 Mar 2021 10:52:05 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] inet: shrink inet_timewait_death_row by 48 bytes struct inet_timewait_death_row uses two cache lines, because we want tw_count to use a full cache line to avoid false sharing. Rework its definition and placement in netns_ipv4 so that: 1) We add 60 bytes of padding after tw_count to avoid false sharing, knowing that tcp_death_row will have ____cacheline_aligned_in_smp attribute. 2) We do not risk padding before tcp_death_row, because we move it at the beginning of netns_ipv4, even if new fields are added later. 3) We do not waste 48 bytes of padding after it. Note that I have not changed dccp. pahole result for struct netns_ipv4 before/after the patch : /* size: 832, cachelines: 13, members: 139 */ /* sum members: 721, holes: 12, sum holes: 95 */ /* padding: 16 */ /* paddings: 2, sum paddings: 55 */ -> /* size: 768, cachelines: 12, members: 139 */ /* sum members: 673, holes: 11, sum holes: 39 */ /* padding: 56 */ /* paddings: 2, sum paddings: 7 */ /* forced alignments: 1 */ Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: David S.
