Alexander Lobakin 06d0fbdad6 page_pool: place frag_* fields in one cacheline
On x86_64, frag_* fields of struct page_pool are scattered across two
cachelines despite the summary size of 24 bytes. All three fields are
used in pretty much the same places, but the last field, ::frag_users,
is pushed out to the next CL, provoking unwanted false-sharing on
hotpath (frags allocation code).
There are some holes and cold members to move around. Move frag_* one
block up, placing them right after &page_pool_params perfectly at the
beginning of CL2. This doesn't do any meaningful to the second block, as
those are some destroy-path cold structures, and doesn't do anything to
::alloc_stats, which still starts at 200-byte offset, 8 bytes after CL3
(still fitting into 1 cacheline).
On my setup, this yields 1-2% of Mpps when using PP frags actively.
When it comes to 32-bit architectures with 32-byte CL: &page_pool_params
plus ::pad is 44 bytes, the block taken care of is 16 bytes within one
CL, so there should be at least no regressions from the actual change.
::pages_state_hold_cnt is not related directly to that triple, but is
paired currently with ::frags_offset and decoupling them would mean
either two 4-byte holes or more invasive layout changes.
