Thinking about cacheline alignment..
What are the general guidelines for when cacheline alignment of a
structure is/isn't desirable? It's obviously useful for those
frequently-modified per-cpu arrays, but is there a significant benefit
in aligning small structures which are mostly read-only?
Should struct list_head be cacheline aligned?
If not, should struct timer_list be cacheline aligned?
TIA.
