Subject: [PATCH] ipv4: move rt_genid to different cache line

Running a simple netperf TCP_RR test with 200 clients shows that
ipv4_dst_check is high on the list of functions in 'perf top'. The
pertinent action in this function is in the call to rt_is_expired
which checks the route genid (rt->rt_gentid) against the global value.
rt_genid is in the same cacheline as dst->__refcnt which is causing
false sharing.

This fix moves rt_genid into the first cacheline of the dst structure.
The dst structue is explicitly packed for cacheline optimization, so to
make room for the genid, I moved xfrm to cacheline with __refcnt (under
the assumption it is less likely to be in the critical path).

I don't believe there is an issue in ip6_dst_check since rt6i_genid
and the dst are in separate cachelines already (struct rt6_info).
