Subject: [PATCH] net: better pcpu data alignment
Date: Sat, 05 Nov 2011 10:19:28 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1320484768.16609.22.camel@edumazet-laptop> (raw)

Tunnels can force an alignment of their percpu data to reduce number of
cache lines used in fast path, or read in .ndo_get_stats()

percpu_alloc() is a very fine grained allocator, so any small hole will
be used anyway.
