Subject: [PATCH 2/2] [TCP]: Reorganize tcp_sock to fill 64-bit holes & improve
 locality


I tried to group recovery related fields nearby (non-CA_Open
related variables, to be more accurate) so that one to three
cachelines would not be necessary in CA_Open. These are now
contiguously deployed:

  struct sk_buff_head        out_of_order_queue;   /*  1968    80 */
  /* --- cacheline 32 boundary (2048 bytes) --- */
  struct tcp_sack_block      duplicate_sack[1];    /*  2048     8 */
  struct tcp_sack_block      selective_acks[4];    /*  2056    32 */
  struct tcp_sack_block      recv_sack_cache[4];   /*  2088    32 */
  /* --- cacheline 33 boundary (2112 bytes) was 8 bytes ago --- */
  struct sk_buff *           highest_sack;         /*  2120     8 */
  int                        lost_cnt_hint;        /*  2128     4 */
  int                        retransmit_cnt_hint;  /*  2132     4 */
  u32                        lost_retrans_low;     /*  2136     4 */
  u8                         reordering;           /*  2140     1 */
  u8                         keepalive_probes;     /*  2141     1 */

  /* XXX 2 bytes hole, try to pack */

  u32                        prior_ssthresh;       /*  2144     4 */
  u32                        high_seq;             /*  2148     4 */
  u32                        retrans_stamp;        /*  2152     4 */
  u32                        undo_marker;          /*  2156     4 */
  int                        undo_retrans;         /*  2160     4 */
  u32                        total_retrans;        /*  2164     4 */

...and they're then followed by URG slowpath & keepalive related
variables.

Head of the out_of_order_queue always needed for empty checks,
if that's empty (and TCP is in CA_Open), following ~200 bytes
(in 64-bit) shouldn't be necessary for anything. If only OFO
queue exists but TCP is in CA_Open, selective_acks (and possibly
duplicate_sack) are necessary besides the out_of_order_queue
but the rest of the block again shouldn't be (ie., the other
direction had losses).

As the cacheline boundaries depend on many factors in the
preceeding stuff, trying to align considering them doesn't
make too much sense.

Commented one ordering hazard.

There are number of low utilized u8/16s that could be combined
get 2 bytes less in total so that the hole could be made to vanish
(includes at least ecn_flags, urg_data, urg_mode, frto_counter,
nonagle).

I'm not sure if this is a right time for such reorganization but it won't 
hurt to post it anyway.
