[PATCH net-next 4/9] page_pool: shrink &page_pool_params a tiny bit

From: Alexander Lobakin
Date: Thu Jul 27 2023 - 10:46:14 EST


For now, this structure takes a whole 64-byte cacheline on x86_64.
But in fact, it has a 4-byte hole before ::init_callback() (yet not
sufficient to change its sizeof()).
::dma_dir is whole 4 bytes, although its values can only be 0 and 2.
Merge it with ::flags and, so that its slot gets freed and reduces
the structure's size to 56 bytes. This adds instruction when reading
that field, but the upcoming change will make those reads happen way
less often.
Pad the freed slot explicitly in &page_pool to not alter cacheline
layout while it's not used.
