[PATCH net-next] mctp: Reorder fields in 'struct mctp_route'

[Christophe JAILLET]

Group some variables based on their sizes to reduce hole and avoid padding.
On x86_64, this shrinks the size of 'struct mctp_route'
from 72 to 64 bytes.

It saves a few bytes of memory and is more cache-line friendly.

Using pahole

Before:
======
struct mctp_route {
	mctp_eid_t                 min;                  /*     0     1 */
	mctp_eid_t                 max;                  /*     1     1 */

	/* XXX 6 bytes hole, try to pack */

	struct mctp_dev *          dev;                  /*     8     8 */
	unsigned int               mtu;                  /*    16     4 */
	unsigned char              type;                 /*    20     1 */

	/* XXX 3 bytes hole, try to pack */

	int                        (*output)(struct mctp_route *, struct sk_buff *); /*    24     8 */
	struct list_head           list;                 /*    32    16 */
	refcount_t                 refs;                 /*    48     4 */

	/* XXX 4 bytes hole, try to pack */

	struct callback_head       rcu __attribute__((__aligned__(8))); /*    56    16 */

	/* size: 72, cachelines: 2, members: 9 */
	/* sum members: 59, holes: 3, sum holes: 13 */
	/* forced alignments: 1, forced holes: 1, sum forced holes: 4 */
	/* last cacheline: 8 bytes */
} __attribute__((__aligned__(8)));


After:
=====
struct mctp_route {
	mctp_eid_t                 min;                  /*     0     1 */
	mctp_eid_t                 max;                  /*     1     1 */
	unsigned char              type;                 /*     2     1 */

	/* XXX 1 byte hole, try to pack */

	unsigned int               mtu;                  /*     4     4 */
	struct mctp_dev *          dev;                  /*     8     8 */
	int                        (*output)(struct mctp_route *, struct sk_buff *); /*    16     8 */
	struct list_head           list;                 /*    24    16 */
	refcount_t                 refs;                 /*    40     4 */

	/* XXX 4 bytes hole, try to pack */

	struct callback_head       rcu __attribute__((__aligned__(8))); /*    48    16 */

	/* size: 64, cachelines: 1, members: 9 */
	/* sum members: 59, holes: 2, sum holes: 5 */
	/* forced alignments: 1, forced holes: 1, sum forced holes: 4 */
} __attribute__((__aligned__(8)));
