[PATCH 4.9 57/71] rhashtable: reorganize struct rhashtable layout

[Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>]

4.9-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com>

While under frags DDOS I noticed unfortunate false sharing between
@nelems and @params.automatic_shrinking

Move @nelems at the end of struct rhashtable so that first cache line
is shared between all cpus, because almost never dirtied.
