[PATCH net-next v9 04/14] vsock/virtio: pack struct virtio_vsock_skb_cb

[Bobby Eshleman <bobbyeshleman@gmail.com>]

From: Bobby Eshleman <bobbyeshleman@meta.com>

Reduce holes in struct virtio_vsock_skb_cb. As this struct continues to
grow, we want to keep it trimmed down so it doesn't exceed the size of
skb->cb (currently 48 bytes). Eliminating the 2 byte hole provides an
additional two bytes for new fields at the end of the structure. It does
not shrink the total size, however.

Future work could include combining fields like reply and tap_delivered
into a single bitfield, but currently doing so will not make the total
struct size smaller (although, would extend the tail-end padding area by
one byte).

Before this patch:

struct virtio_vsock_skb_cb {
	bool                       reply;                /*     0     1 */
	bool                       tap_delivered;        /*     1     1 */

	/* XXX 2 bytes hole, try to pack */

	u32                        offset;               /*     4     4 */

	/* size: 8, cachelines: 1, members: 3 */
	/* sum members: 6, holes: 1, sum holes: 2 */
	/* last cacheline: 8 bytes */
};
;

After this patch:

struct virtio_vsock_skb_cb {
	u32                        offset;               /*     0     4 */
	bool                       reply;                /*     4     1 */
	bool                       tap_delivered;        /*     5     1 */

	/* size: 8, cachelines: 1, members: 3 */
	/* padding: 2 */
	/* last cacheline: 8 bytes */
};
