Eric Dumazet 4ba4d4c0c5 [PATCH] struct vfsmount: keep mnt_count & mnt_expiry_mark away from mnt_flags
I noticed cache misses in touch_atime() that can be avoided if we keep
mnt_count & mnt_expiry_mark in a different cache line than mnt_flags
(mostly read)

mnt_count & mnt_expiry_mark are modified each time a file is opened/closed
in a file system.

touch_atime() is called each time a file is read, and generally needs to
read mnt_flags.

Other fields of struct vfsmount are mostly read so I chose to move
mnt_count & mnt_expiry_mark at the end of struct vfsmount.  And adding a
comment so that nobody tries to re-arrange fields to fill the holes :)

On 64bits platforms, the new offsetof(mnt_count) is 0xC0
On 32bits platforms, it is 0x60, so I didnot add a
____cacheline_aligned_in_smp because it would have a too big impact on the
size of this object (in particular if CONFIG_X86_L1_CACHE_SHIFT=7)
