If you mean this:
Before commit 05cbc0db03e82 ("ipv4: Create probe timer for tcp PMTU as per RFC4821")
        struct {
                int                enabled;              /*  1152     4 */
                int                search_high;          /*  1156     4 */
                int                search_low;           /*  1160     4 */
                int                probe_size;           /*  1164     4 */
        } icsk_mtup;                                     /*  1152    16 */
        u32                        icsk_ca_priv[16];     /*  1168    64 */      <-- 1168/6 = 146
        /* --- cacheline 19 boundary (1216 bytes) was 16 bytes ago --- */
        u32                        icsk_user_timeout;    /*  1232     4 */

        /* size: 1240, cachelines: 20, members: 23 */
        /* padding: 4 */
        /* last cacheline: 24 bytes */
};


After commit 05cbc0db03e82 ("ipv4: Create probe timer for tcp PMTU as per RFC4821")

        struct {
                int                enabled;              /*  1152     4 */
                int                search_high;          /*  1156     4 */
                int                search_low;           /*  1160     4 */
                int                probe_size;           /*  1164     4 */
                u32                probe_timestamp;      /*  1168     4 */
        } icsk_mtup;                                     /*  1152    20 */
        u32                        icsk_ca_priv[16];     /*  1172    64 */        <-- 1172/6 = 146.5
        /* --- cacheline 19 boundary (1216 bytes) was 20 bytes ago --- */
        u32                        icsk_user_timeout;    /*  1236     4 */

        /* size: 1240, cachelines: 20, members: 23 */
        /* last cacheline: 24 bytes */
};
