I have seen tcp_hashinfo starting at a non optimal location, forcing input handlers to pull two cache lines instead of one, and sharing a cache line that was dirtied more than necessary: ffffffff83680600 b tcp_orphan_timer ffffffff83680628 b tcp_orphan_cache ffffffff8368062c b tcp_enable_tx_delay.__tcp_tx_delay_enabled ffffffff83680630 B tcp_hashinfo ffffffff83680680 b tcp_cong_list_lock After this patch, ehash, ehash_locks, ehash_mask and ehash_locks_mask are located in a read-only cache line.

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.
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.
