xfrm: reduce struct sec_path size
The mentioned struct has an hole and uses unnecessary wide type to store MAC length and indexes of very small arrays. It's also embedded into the skb_extensions, and the latter, due to recent CAN changes, may exceeds the 192 bytes mark (3 cachelines on x86_64 arch) on some reasonable configurations. Reordering and the sec_path fields, shrinking xfrm_offload.orig_mac_len to 16 bits and xfrm_offload.{len,olen,verified_cnt} to u8, we can save 16 bytes and keep skb_extensions size under control. Before: struct sec_path { int len; int olen; int verified_cnt; /* XXX 4 bytes hole, try to pack */$ struct xfrm_state * xvec[6]; struct xfrm_offload ovec[1]; /* size: 88, cachelines: 2, members: 5 */ /* sum members: 84, holes: 1, sum holes: 4 */ /* last cacheline: 24 bytes */ }; After: struct sec_path { struct xfrm_state * xvec[6]; struct xfrm_offload ovec[1]; /* typedef u8 -> __u8 */ unsigned char len; /* typedef u8 -> __u8 */ unsigned char olen; /* typedef u8 -> __u8 */ unsigned char verified_cnt; /* size: 72, cachelines: 2, members: 5 */ /* padding: 1 */ /* last cacheline: 8 bytes */ }; Signed-off-by: Paolo Abeni <pabeni@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Florian Westphal <fw@strlen.de> Reviewed-by: Steffen Klassert <steffen.klassert@secunet.com> Link: https://patch.msgid.link/83846bd2e3fa08899bd0162e41bfadfec95e82ef.1770398071.git.pabeni@redhat.com Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org>
