ipv6: Move ipv6_fl_list from ipv6_pinfo to inet_sock.
In {tcp6,udp6,raw6}_sock, struct ipv6_pinfo is always placed at the beginning of a new cache line because 1. __alignof__(struct tcp_sock) is 64 due to ____cacheline_aligned of __cacheline_group_begin(tcp_sock_write_tx) 2. __alignof__(struct udp_sock) is 64 due to ____cacheline_aligned of struct numa_drop_counters 3. in raw6_sock, struct numa_drop_counters is placed before struct ipv6_pinfo . struct ipv6_pinfo is 136 bytes, but the last cache line is only used by ipv6_fl_list: $ pahole -C ipv6_pinfo vmlinux struct ipv6_pinfo { ... /* --- cacheline 2 boundary (128 bytes) --- */ struct ipv6_fl_socklist * ipv6_fl_list; /* 128 8 */ /* size: 136, cachelines: 3, members: 23 */ Let's move ipv6_fl_list from struct ipv6_pinfo to struct inet_sock to save a full cache line for {tcp6,udp6,raw6}_sock. Now, struct ipv6_pinfo is 128 bytes, and {tcp6,udp6,raw6}_sock have 64 bytes less, while {tcp,udp,raw}_sock retain the same size. Before: # grep -E "^(RAW|UDP[^L\-]|TCP)" /proc/slabinfo | awk '{print $1, "\t", $4}' RAWv6 1408 UDPv6 1472 TCPv6 2560 RAW 1152 UDP 1280 TCP 2368 After: # grep -E "^(RAW|UDP[^L\-]|TCP)" /proc/slabinfo | awk '{print $1, "\t", $4}' RAWv6 1344 UDPv6 1408 TCPv6 2496 RAW 1152 UDP 1280 TCP 2368 Also, ipv6_fl_list and inet_flags (SNDFLOW bit) are placed in the same cache line. $ pahole -C inet_sock vmlinux ... /* --- cacheline 11 boundary (704 bytes) was 56 bytes ago --- */ struct ipv6_pinfo * pinet6; /* 760 8 */ /* --- cacheline 12 boundary (768 bytes) --- */ struct ipv6_fl_socklist * ipv6_fl_list; /* 768 8 */ unsigned long inet_flags; /* 776 8 */ Doc churn is due to the insufficient Type column (only 1 space short).
