[IPSEC] flow: Remove an unnecessary ____cacheline_aligned
We use a percpu variable named flow_hash_info, which holds 12 bytes. It is currently marked as ____cacheline_aligned, which makes linker skip space to properly align this variable. Before : c065cc90 D per_cpu__softnet_data c065cd00 d per_cpu__flow_tables <Here, hole of 124 bytes> c065cd80 d per_cpu__flow_hash_info <Here, hole of 116 bytes> c065ce00 d per_cpu__flow_flush_tasklets c065ce14 d per_cpu__rt_cache_stat This alignement is quite unproductive, and removing it reduces the size of percpu data (by 240 bytes on my x86 machine), and improves performance (flow_tables & flow_hash_info can share a single cache line) After patch : c065cc04 D per_cpu__softnet_data c065cc4c d per_cpu__flow_tables c065cc50 d per_cpu__flow_hash_info c065cc5c d per_cpu__flow_flush_tasklets c065cc70 d per_cpu__rt_cache_stat Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <dada1@cosmosbay.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
