Vladimir Oltean 7787ff7763 net: dsa: merge all bools of struct dsa_switch into a single u32
struct dsa_switch has 9 boolean properties, many of which are in fact
set by drivers for custom behavior (vlan_filtering_is_global,
needs_standalone_vlan_filtering, etc etc). The binary layout of the
structure could be improved. For example, the "bool setup" at the
beginning introduces a gratuitous 7 byte hole in the first cache line.

The change merges all boolean properties into bitfields of an u32, and
places that u32 in the first cache line of the structure, since many
bools are accessed from the data path (untag_bridge_pvid, vlan_filtering,
vlan_filtering_is_global).

We place this u32 after the existing ds->index, which is also 4 bytes in
size. As a positive side effect, ds->tagger_data now fits into the first
cache line too, because 4 bytes are saved.

Before:

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 Restructured Text 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.
