[PATCH net-next 0/7] rfs: use high-order allocations for hash tables

[Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com>]

This series adds rps_tag_ptr which encodes both a pointer
and a size of a power-of-two hash table in a single long word.

RFS hash tables (global and per rx-queue) are converted to rps_tag_ptr.

This removes a cache line miss, and allows high-order allocations.

The global hash table can benefit from huge pages.

Eric Dumazet (7):
  net: add rps_tag_ptr type and helpers
  net-sysfs: remove rcu field from 'struct rps_sock_flow_table'
  net-sysfs: add rps_sock_flow_table_mask() helper
  net-sysfs: use rps_tag_ptr and remove metadata from
    rps_sock_flow_table
  net-sysfs: get rid of rps_dev_flow_lock
  net-sysfs: remove rcu field from 'struct rps_dev_flow_table'
  net-sysfs: use rps_tag_ptr and remove metadata from rps_dev_flow_table
