From 8ce120f11898c921329a5f618d01dcc1e8e69cac Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Dumazet Date: Fri, 4 Nov 2011 23:19:28 +0000 Subject: net: better pcpu data alignment Tunnels can force an alignment of their percpu data to reduce number of cache lines used in fast path, or read in .ndo_get_stats() percpu_alloc() is a very fine grained allocator, so any small hole will be used anyway.
