From 0868e2538e45a9ed68e2b14adc42b020a36aae1d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jiri Benc Date: Fri, 22 Apr 2016 12:40:02 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] route: move lwtunnel state to a single place Commit 751a587ac9f9 ("route: fix breakage after moving lwtunnel state") moved lwtstate to the end of dst_entry for 32bit archs. This makes it share the cacheline with __refcnt which had an unkown effect on performance. For this reason, the pointer was kept in place for 64bit archs. However, later performance measurements showed this is of no concern. It turns out that every performance sensitive path that accesses lwtstate accesses also struct rtable or struct rt6_info which share the same cache line. Thus, to get rid of a few #ifdefs, move the field to the end of the struct also for 64bit. Signed-off-by: Jiri Benc Signed-off-by: David S.
