net: align sk_refcnt on 128 bytes boundary
sk->sk_refcnt is dirtied for every TCP/UDP incoming packet.
This is a performance issue if multiple cpus hit a common socket,
or multiple sockets are chained due to SO_REUSEPORT.
By moving sk_refcnt 8 bytes further, first 128 bytes of sockets
are mostly read. As they contain the lookup keys, this has
a considerable performance impact, as cpus can cache them.
These 8 bytes are not wasted, we use them as a place holder
for various fields, depending on the socket type.
Tested:
SYN flood hitting a 16 RX queues NIC.
TCP listener using 16 sockets and SO_REUSEPORT
and SO_INCOMING_CPU for proper siloing.
Could process 6.0 Mpps SYN instead of 4.2 Mpps
Kernel profile looked like :
11.68% [kernel] [k] sha_transform
6.51% [kernel] [k] __inet_lookup_listener
5.07% [kernel] [k] __inet_lookup_established
4.15% [kernel] [k] memcpy_erms
3.46% [kernel] [k] ipt_do_table
2.74% [kernel] [k] fib_table_lookup
2.54% [kernel] [k] tcp_make_synack
2.34% [kernel] [k] tcp_conn_request
2.05% [kernel] [k] __netif_receive_skb_core
2.03% [kernel] [k] kmem_cache_alloc
