Both struct netdev_rx_queue and struct xdp_rxq_info are cacheline aligned. This causes extra padding before and after the xdp_rxq member. Move the member upfront, so that it's naturally aligned. Before: /* size: 256, cachelines: 4, members: 6 */ /* sum members: 160, holes: 1, sum holes: 40 */ /* padding: 56 */ /* paddings: 1, sum paddings: 36 */ /* forced alignments: 1, forced holes: 1, sum forced holes: 40 */ After: /* size: 192, cachelines: 3, members: 6 */ /* padding: 32 */ /* paddings: 1, sum paddings: 36 */ /* forced alignments: 1 */ Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@xxxxxxxxxx> --- include/linux/netdevice.h | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/include/linux/netdevice.h b/include/linux/netdevice.h index 9579942ac2fd..514ec3a0507c 100644 --- a/include/linux/netdevice.h +++ b/include/linux/netdevice.h @@ -722,13 +722,13 @@ bool rps_may_expire_flow(struct net_device *dev, u16 rxq_index, u32 flow_id, /* This structure contains an instance of an RX queue. */ struct netdev_rx_queue { + struct xdp_rxq_info xdp_rxq; #ifdef CONFIG_RPS struct rps_map __rcu *rps_map; struct rps_dev_flow_table __rcu *rps_flow_table; #endif struct kobject kobj; struct net_device *dev; - struct xdp_rxq_info xdp_rxq; #ifdef CONFIG_XDP_SOCKETS struct xsk_buff_pool *pool; #endif -- 2.31.1
