Oliver Sand reported a performance regression caused by commit 98c9daf5ae6b ("mm: memcg: guard memcg1-specific members of struct mem_cgroup_per_node"), which puts some fields of the mem_cgroup_per_node structure under the CONFIG_MEMCG_V1 config option. Apparently it causes a false cache sharing between lruvec and lru_zone_size members of the structure. Fix it by adding an explicit padding after the lruvec member. Even though the padding is not required with CONFIG_MEMCG_V1 set, it seems like the introduced memory overhead is not significant enough to warrant another divergence in the mem_cgroup_per_node layout, so the padding is added unconditionally.

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 reStructuredText 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.
