[PATCH v14 net-next 03/14] tcp: reorganize tcp_sock_write_txrx group for variables later

From: <hidden>
Date: 2025-07-22 09:59:42
Also in: bpf, linux-doc, linux-kselftest
Subsystem: networking [general], networking [tcp], the rest · Maintainers: "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, Neal Cardwell, Linus Torvalds

From: Chia-Yu Chang <redacted>

Use the first 3-byte hole at the beginning of the tcp_sock_write_txrx
group for 'noneagle'/'rate_app_limited' to fill in the existing hole
in later patches. Therefore, the group size of tcp_sock_write_txrx is
reduced from 92 + 4 to 91 + 4. In addition, the group size of
tcp_sock_write_rx is changed to 96 to fit in the pahole outcome.
Below are the trimmed pahole outcomes before and after this patch:

[BEFORE THIS PATCH]
struct tcp_sock {
    [...]
    __cacheline_group_begin__tcp_sock_write_txrx[0]; /*  2585     0 */
    /* XXX 3 bytes hole, try to pack */

    [...]
    struct tcp_options_received rx_opt;              /*  2652    24 */
    u8                         nonagle:4;            /*  2676: 0  1 */
    u8                         rate_app_limited:1;   /*  2676: 4  1 */
    /* XXX 3 bits hole, try to pack */

    __cacheline_group_end__tcp_sock_write_txrx[0];   /*  2677     0 */
    /* XXX 3 bytes hole, try to pack */

    __cacheline_group_begin__tcp_sock_write_rx[0] __attribute__((__aligned__(8))); /*  2680     0 */

    [...]
    __cacheline_group_end__tcp_sock_write_rx[0];     /*  2776     0 */

    [...]
    /* size: 3264, cachelines: 51, members: 163 */
}

[AFTER THIS PATCH]
struct tcp_sock {
    [...]
    __cacheline_group_begin__tcp_sock_write_txrx[0]; /*  2585     0 */
    u8                         nonagle:4;            /*  2585: 0  1 */
    u8                         rate_app_limited:1;   /*  2585: 4  1 */
    /* XXX 3 bits hole, try to pack */
    /* XXX 2 bytes hole, try to pack */

    [...]
    struct tcp_options_received rx_opt;              /*  2652    24 */

    __cacheline_group_end__tcp_sock_write_txrx[0];   /*  2676     0 */
    /* XXX 4 bytes hole, try to pack */

    __cacheline_group_begin__tcp_sock_write_rx[0] __attribute__((__aligned__(8))); /*  2680     0 */

    [...]
    __cacheline_group_end__tcp_sock_write_rx[0];     /*  2776     0 */

    [...]
    /* size: 3264, cachelines: 51, members: 163 */
}
