Subject: [PATCH 03/13] TProxy: move dst_cookie to the first cacheline in ipv6_pinfo
Date: Sun, 30 Aug 2009 08:52:01 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1253548005.12519.3.camel@bzorp.balabit> (raw)

While looking for a place to add a new bitfield in ipv6_pinfo,
I've found a 32 bit hole (in 64 bit mode) at the beginning of the struct.
Since dst_cookie is used in the output fastpath, I've moved this field to
fill the hole. The original place of dst_cookie is now empty, but
can become a place to add further fields to the struct.
