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 <c...@cera.cz> --- drivers/net/ethernet/emulex/benet/be.h | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/drivers/net/ethernet/emulex/benet/be.h b/drivers/net/ethernet/emulex/benet/be.h index 4f805be43180..7005949dc17b 100644 --- a/drivers/net/ethernet/emulex/benet/be.h +++ b/drivers/net/ethernet/emulex/benet/be.h @@ -436,10 +436,10 @@ struct be_port_resources { #define be_is_os2bmc_enabled(adapter) (adapter->flags & BE_FLAGS_OS2BMC) struct rss_info { - u64 rss_flags; u8 rsstable[RSS_INDIR_TABLE_LEN]; u8 rss_queue[RSS_INDIR_TABLE_LEN]; u8 rss_hkey[RSS_HASH_KEY_LEN]; + u64 rss_flags; }; #define BE_INVALID_DIE_TEMP 0xFF -- 2.16.4
