It is possible to reorg Qdisc to avoid always dirtying 2 cache lines in
fast path by reducing this to a single dirtied cache line.
In current layout, we change only four/six fields in the first cache line:
- q.spinlock
- q.qlen
- bstats.bytes
- bstats.packets
- some Qdisc also change q.next/q.prev
In the second cache line we change in the fast path:
- running
- state
- qstats.backlog
/* --- cacheline 2 boundary (128 bytes) --- */
struct sk_buff_head gso_skb __attribute__((__aligned__(64))); /* 0x80 0x18 */
struct qdisc_skb_head q; /* 0x98 0x18 */
struct gnet_stats_basic_sync bstats __attribute__((__aligned__(16))); /* 0xb0 0x10 */
/* --- cacheline 3 boundary (192 bytes) --- */
struct gnet_stats_queue qstats; /* 0xc0 0x14 */
bool running; /* 0xd4 0x1 */
/* XXX 3 bytes hole, try to pack */
unsigned long state; /* 0xd8 0x8 */
struct Qdisc * next_sched; /* 0xe0 0x8 */
struct sk_buff_head skb_bad_txq; /* 0xe8 0x18 */
/* --- cacheline 4 boundary (256 bytes) --- */
Reorganize things to have a first cache line mostly read,
then a mostly written one.
This gives a ~3% increase of performance under tx stress.
Note that there is an additional hole because @qstats now spans over a third cache line.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
