Paolo Abeni e9be0e993d net: sched: shrink struct Qdisc 
The struct Qdisc has a lot of holes, especially after commit
a53851e2c3 ("net: sched: explicit locking in gso_cpu fallback"),
which as a side effect, moved the fields just after 'busylock'
on a new cacheline.

Since both 'padded' and 'refcnt' are not updated frequently, and
there is a hole before 'gso_skb', we can move such fields there,
saving a cacheline without any performance side effect.

Before this commit:

pahole -C Qdisc net/sche/sch_generic.o
	# ...
        /* size: 384, cachelines: 6, members: 25 */
        /* sum members: 236, holes: 3, sum holes: 92 */
        /* padding: 56 */

After this commit:
pahole -C Qdisc net/sche/sch_generic.o
	# ...
	/* size: 320, cachelines: 5, members: 25 */
	/* sum members: 236, holes: 2, sum holes: 28 */
	/* padding: 56 */

README 

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
