net: reorder struct sock fields

net: reorder struct sock fields

Right now, fields in struct sock are not optimally ordered, because each
path (RX softirq, TX completion, RX user,  TX user) has to touch fields
that are contained in many different cache lines.

The really critical thing is to shrink number of cache lines that are
used at RX softirq time : CPU handling softirqs for a device can receive
many frames per second for many sockets. If load is too big, we can drop
frames at NIC level. RPS or multiqueue cards can help, but better reduce
latency if possible.

This patch starts with UDP protocol, then additional patches will try to
reduce latencies of other ones as well.

At RX softirq time, fields of interest for UDP protocol are :
(not counting ones in inet struct for the lookup)

Read/Written:
sk_refcnt   (atomic increment/decrement)
sk_rmem_alloc & sk_backlog.len (to check if there is room in queues)
sk_receive_queue
sk_backlog (if socket locked by user program)
sk_rxhash
sk_forward_alloc
sk_drops

Read only:
sk_rcvbuf (sk_rcvqueues_full())
sk_filter
sk_wq
sk_policy[0]
sk_flags

Additional notes :

- sk_backlog has one hole on 64bit arches. We can fill it to save 8
bytes.
- sk_backlog is used only if RX sofirq handler finds the socket while
locked by user.
- sk_rxhash is written only once per flow.
- sk_drops is written only if queues are full

Final layout :

[1] One section grouping all read/write fields, but placing rxhash and
sk_backlog at the end of this section.

[2] One section grouping all read fields in RX handler
   (sk_filter, sk_rcv_buf, sk_wq)

[3] Section used by other paths

I'll post a patch on its own to put sk_refcnt at the end of struct
sock_common so that it shares same cache line than section [1]

New offsets on 64bit arch :

sizeof(struct sock)=0x268
offsetof(struct sock, sk_refcnt)  =0x10
offsetof(struct sock, sk_lock)    =0x48
offsetof(struct sock, sk_receive_queue)=0x68
offsetof(struct sock, sk_backlog)=0x80
offsetof(struct sock, sk_rmem_alloc)=0x80
offsetof(struct sock, sk_forward_alloc)=0x98
offsetof(struct sock, sk_rxhash)=0x9c
offsetof(struct sock, sk_rcvbuf)=0xa4
offsetof(struct sock, sk_drops) =0xa0
offsetof(struct sock, sk_filter)=0xa8
offsetof(struct sock, sk_wq)=0xb0
offsetof(struct sock, sk_policy)=0xd0
offsetof(struct sock, sk_flags) =0xe0

Instead of :

sizeof(struct sock)=0x270
offsetof(struct sock, sk_refcnt)  =0x10
offsetof(struct sock, sk_lock)    =0x50
offsetof(struct sock, sk_receive_queue)=0xc0
offsetof(struct sock, sk_backlog)=0x70
offsetof(struct sock, sk_rmem_alloc)=0xac
offsetof(struct sock, sk_forward_alloc)=0x10c
offsetof(struct sock, sk_rxhash)=0x128
offsetof(struct sock, sk_rcvbuf)=0x4c
offsetof(struct sock, sk_drops) =0x16c
offsetof(struct sock, sk_filter)=0x198
offsetof(struct sock, sk_wq)=0x88
offsetof(struct sock, sk_policy)=0x98
offsetof(struct sock, sk_flags) =0x130
