Hi,
A lot of boolean bridge options have been added around the net_bridge
structure resulting in holes and more importantly different cache lines
that need to be fetched in the fast path. This set moves all of those
to bits in a bitfield which resides in a hot cache line thus reducing
the size of net_bridge, the number of holes and the number of cache
lines needed for the fast path.
The set is also sent in preparation for new boolean options to avoid
spreading them in the structure and making new holes.
One nice side-effect is that we avoid potential race conditions by using
the bitops since some of the options were bits being directly set in
parallel risking hard to debug issues (has_ipv6_addr).
Before:
size: 1184, holes: 8, sum holes: 30
After:
size: 1160, holes: 3, sum holes: 7
Patch 01 is a trivial style fix
Patch 02 adds the new options bitfield and converts the vlan boolean
options to bits
Patches 03-08 convert the rest of the boolean options to bits
Patch 09 re-arranges a few fields in net_bridge to further reduce size
v2: patch 09: remove the comment about offload_fwd_mark in net_bridge and
leave it in the last 4 bytes, thanks to Ido for spotting it
Stephen, I've added your reviewed-by in patches 01-08, only removed it
from patch 09 as the patch has changed.
Thanks,
Nik
