[PATCH] openvswitch: reduce padding in struct sw_flow_key

[Arnd Bergmann]

It's been a while since the last time sw_flow_key was made smaller in
1139e241ec43 ("openvswitch: Compact sw_flow_key."), and it has seen five
patches adding new members since then.

With the current linux-next kernel and gcc-6.0 on ARM, this has tipped
us slightly over the stack frame warning limit of 1024 bytes:

net/openvswitch/datapath.c: In function 'ovs_flow_cmd_set':
net/openvswitch/datapath.c:1202:1: error: the frame size of 1032 bytes is larger than 1024 bytes [-Werror=frame-larger-than=]

This slightly rearranges the members in struct sw_flow_key to minimize
the amount of padding we have between them, bringing us again slightly
below the warning limit (checking all files against 128 bytes limit):

datapath.c: In function 'get_flow_actions.constprop':
datapath.c:1083:1: warning: the frame size of 464 bytes is larger than 128 bytes
datapath.c: In function 'ovs_flow_cmd_new':
datapath.c:1061:1: warning: the frame size of 984 bytes is larger than 128 bytes
datapath.c: In function 'ovs_flow_cmd_del':
datapath.c:1336:1: warning: the frame size of 528 bytes is larger than 128 bytes
datapath.c: In function 'ovs_flow_cmd_get':
datapath.c:1261:1: warning: the frame size of 504 bytes is larger than 128 bytes
datapath.c: In function 'ovs_flow_cmd_set':
datapath.c:1202:1: warning: the frame size of 1016 bytes is larger than 128 bytes
datapath.c: In function 'queue_gso_packets':
datapath.c:379:1: warning: the frame size of 472 bytes is larger than 128 bytes
flow_table.c: In function 'masked_flow_lookup':
flow_table.c:489:1: warning: the frame size of 488 bytes is larger than 128 bytes
flow_netlink.c: In function 'validate_and_copy_set_tun':
flow_netlink.c:1994:1: warning: the frame size of 512 bytes is larger than 128 bytes

This means it's still too large really, we just don't warn about it any more,
and will get the warning again once another member is added. My patch is a
band-aid at best, but more work is needed here. One problem is that
ovs_flow_cmd_new and ovs_flow_cmd_set have two copies of struct sw_flow_key on
the stack, one of them nested within sw_flow_mask. If we could reduce that to
a single instance, the stack usage would be cut in half here.
