[PATCH 3/3 v3] net/macb: Try to optimize struct macb layout

From: Nicolas Ferre
Date: Wed May 15 2013 - 05:20:17 EST


From: Havard Skinnemoen <havard@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Move TX-related fields to the top of the struct so that they end up on
the same cache line. Move the NAPI struct below that since it is used
from the interrupt handler. This field is also marked as
___cacheline_aligned_in_smp.
RX-related fields go below those.
Function pointers and capability mask are immediately after that as
they are also used in the hot path.

Move the spinlock before regs since they are usually used together.
