[PATCH 2/2] mm: memcg: add cache line padding to mem_cgroup_per_node

[Roman Gushchin]

Memcg v1-specific fields serve a buffer function between read-mostly
and update often parts of the mem_cgroup_per_node structure.
If CONFIG_MEMCG_V1 is not set and these fields are not present,
an explicit cacheline padding is needed.
