[PATCH 2/5] workqueue: Re-order struct worker fields

From: Tejun Heo
Date: Tue Apr 18 2023 - 16:52:17 EST


struct worker was laid out with the intent that all fields that are modified
for each work item execution are in the first cacheline. However, this
hasn't been true for a while with the addition of ->last_func. Let's just
collect hot fields together at the top.

Move ->sleeping in the hole after ->current_color and move ->lst_func right
below. While at it, drop the cacheline comment which isn't useful anymore.
