Chia-Yu Chang c3426ba2ed tcp: reorganize tcp_sock_write_txrx group for variables later
Use the first 3-byte hole at the beginning of the tcp_sock_write_txrx
group for 'noneagle'/'rate_app_limited' to fill in the existing hole
in later patches. Therefore, the group size of tcp_sock_write_txrx is
reduced from 92 + 4 to 91 + 4. In addition, the group size of
tcp_sock_write_rx is changed to 96 to fit in the pahole outcome.
Below are the trimmed pahole outcomes before and after this patch:

[BEFORE THIS PATCH]
struct tcp_sock {
    [...]
    __cacheline_group_begin__tcp_sock_write_txrx[0]; /*  2521     0 */
    /* XXX 3 bytes hole, try to pack */

    u8                         rate_app_limited:1;   /*  2612: 4  1 */
    /* XXX 3 bits hole, try to pack */

    __cacheline_group_end__tcp_sock_write_txrx[0];   /*  2613     0 */
    /* XXX 3 bytes hole, try to pack */

    __cacheline_group_begin__tcp_sock_write_rx[0] __attribute__((__aligned__(8))); /*  2616     0 */

    __cacheline_group_end__tcp_sock_write_rx[0];     /*  2712     0 */

    [...]
    /* size: 3200, cachelines: 50, members: 161 */
}

}

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
