net: skbuff: hide some bitfield members
There is a number of protocol or subsystem specific fields
in struct sk_buff which are only accessed by one subsystem.
We can wrap them in ifdefs with minimal code impact.
This gives us a better chance to save a 2B and a 4B holes
resulting with the following savings (assuming a lucky
kernel config):
- /* size: 232, cachelines: 4, members: 28 */
- /* sum members: 227, holes: 1, sum holes: 4 */
- /* sum bitfield members: 8 bits (1 bytes) */
+ /* size: 224, cachelines: 4, members: 28 */
/* forced alignments: 2 */
- /* last cacheline: 40 bytes */
+ /* last cacheline: 32 bytes */
I think that the changes shouldn't be too controversial.
The only one I'm not 100% sure of is the SCTP one,
12 extra LoC for one bit.. But it did fit squarely
in the "this bit has only one user" category.
