After the series "XSk buff on a diet" by Maciej, the greatest pow-2 which &xdp_buff_xsk can be divided got reduced from 16 to 8 on x86_64. Also, sizeof(xdp_buff_xsk) now is 120 bytes, which, taking the previous sentence into account, leads to that it leaves 8 bytes at the end of cacheline, which means an array of buffs will have its elements messed between the cachelines chaotically. Use __aligned_largest for this struct. This alignment is usually 16 bytes, which makes it fill two full cachelines and align an array nicely. ___cacheline_aligned may be excessive here, especially on arches with 128-256 byte CLs, as well as 32-bit arches (76 -> 96 bytes on MIPS32R2), while not doing better than _largest.
