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 */
};
