The current position of .rss_flags field in struct rss_info causes that fields .rsstable and .rssqueue (both 128 bytes long) crosses cache-line boundaries. Moving it at the end properly align all fields. Before patch: struct rss_info { u64 rss_flags; /* 0 8 */ u8 rsstable[128]; /* 8 128 */ /* --- cacheline 2 boundary (128 bytes) was 8 bytes ago --- */ u8 rss_queue[128]; /* 136 128 */ /* --- cacheline 4 boundary (256 bytes) was 8 bytes ago --- */ u8 rss_hkey[40]; /* 264 40 */ }; After patch: struct rss_info { u8 rsstable[128]; /* 0 128 */ /* --- cacheline 2 boundary (128 bytes) --- */ u8 rss_queue[128]; /* 128 128 */ /* --- cacheline 4 boundary (256 bytes) --- */ u8 rss_hkey[40]; /* 256 40 */ u64 rss_flags; /* 296 8 */ }; Signed-off-by: Ivan Vecera <cera@cera.cz> Signed-off-by: David S.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
