Subject: [PATCH 6.12.y 6/7] ipv6: Move ipv6_fl_list from ipv6_pinfo to inet_sock.
Date: Wed, 16 Sep 2026 22:18:58 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260917021859.3810309-6-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260917021859.3810309-1-sashal@kernel.org>
From: Kuniyuki Iwashima <kuniyu@google.com>
[ Upstream commit 1c17f4373d4db1e1f0ebd3ddcd8e7a642927a826 ]
In {tcp6,udp6,raw6}_sock, struct ipv6_pinfo is always placed at
the beginning of a new cache line because
1. __alignof__(struct tcp_sock) is 64 due to ____cacheline_aligned
of __cacheline_group_begin(tcp_sock_write_tx)
2. __alignof__(struct udp_sock) is 64 due to ____cacheline_aligned
of struct numa_drop_counters
3. in raw6_sock, struct numa_drop_counters is placed before
struct ipv6_pinfo
. struct ipv6_pinfo is 136 bytes, but the last cache line is
only used by ipv6_fl_list:
$ pahole -C ipv6_pinfo vmlinux
struct ipv6_pinfo {
...
/* --- cacheline 2 boundary (128 bytes) --- */
struct ipv6_fl_socklist * ipv6_fl_list; /* 128 8 */
/* size: 136, cachelines: 3, members: 23 */
Let's move ipv6_fl_list from struct ipv6_pinfo to struct inet_sock
to save a full cache line for {tcp6,udp6,raw6}_sock.
Now, struct ipv6_pinfo is 128 bytes, and {tcp6,udp6,raw6}_sock have
64 bytes less, while {tcp,udp,raw}_sock retain the same size.
Before:
# grep -E "^(RAW|UDP[^L\-]|TCP)" /proc/slabinfo | awk '{print $1, "\t", $4}'
RAWv6 1408
UDPv6 1472
TCPv6 2560
RAW 1152
UDP 1280
TCP 2368
After:
# grep -E "^(RAW|UDP[^L\-]|TCP)" /proc/slabinfo | awk '{print $1, "\t", $4}'
RAWv6 1344
UDPv6 1408
TCPv6 2496
RAW 1152
UDP 1280
TCP 2368
Also, ipv6_fl_list and inet_flags (SNDFLOW bit) are placed in the
same cache line.
$ pahole -C inet_sock vmlinux
...
/* --- cacheline 11 boundary (704 bytes) was 56 bytes ago --- */
struct ipv6_pinfo * pinet6; /* 760 8 */
/* --- cacheline 12 boundary (768 bytes) --- */
struct ipv6_fl_socklist * ipv6_fl_list; /* 768 8 */
unsigned long inet_flags; /* 776 8 */
Doc churn is due to the insufficient Type column (only 1 space short).

Stable adaptation:
Keep the stable TCP mapped-child initialization callback introduced by
9ed654e340f4c ("tcp: fix potential race in tcp_v6_syn_recv_sock()") and
reset the relocated flowlabel list in that existing helper. Update both
DCCP child paths too, since DCCP is still present in this tree. Preserve
the existing cacheline-documentation format and add only the new field.
Name the existing unprivileged total limit in mem_check() and use it in
an algebraically equivalent room check. This supplies the context needed
by 8d6cd1885085 ("ipv6: flowlabel: cap duplicate leases per socket")
without importing the later per-netns accounting or changing admission
policy. No new functions are introduced by this dependency.
