Roman Gushchin f59adcf593 mm: memcg: add cacheline padding after lruvec in mem_cgroup_per_node
Oliver Sand reported a performance regression caused by commit
98c9daf5ae ("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.
