I guess so, to get it to 64 bytes, then having it as:

struct perf_cgroup_node {
	struct hlist_node		node;
	u64				id;
	u64				count;
	u64				time_enabled;
	u64				time_running;
} ____cacheline_aligned;

Seems better :-)

Testing:

[acme@five c]$ cat cacheline_aligned.c
#ifndef ____cacheline_aligned
#define ____cacheline_aligned __attribute__((__aligned__(SMP_CACHE_BYTES)))
#endif

// from ../build/v5.12.0-rc4+/include/generated/autoconf.h
#define CONFIG_X86_L1_CACHE_SHIFT 6

#define L1_CACHE_SHIFT  (CONFIG_X86_L1_CACHE_SHIFT)
#define L1_CACHE_BYTES  (1 << L1_CACHE_SHIFT)

#ifndef SMP_CACHE_BYTES
#define SMP_CACHE_BYTES L1_CACHE_BYTES
#endif

struct hlist_node {
	struct hlist_node *        next;                 /*     0     8 */
	struct hlist_node * *      pprev;                /*     8     8 */

	/* size: 16, cachelines: 1, members: 2 */
	/* last cacheline: 16 bytes */
};

struct perf_cgroup_node {
        struct hlist_node               node;

        u64                             count;
        u64                             time_enabled;
