After the series "XSk buff on a diet" by Maciej, the greatest pow-2 which &xdp_buff_xsk can be divided got reduced from 16 to 8 on x86_64. Also, sizeof(xdp_buff_xsk) now is 120 bytes, which, taking the previous sentence into account, leads to that it leaves 8 bytes at the end of cacheline, which means an array of buffs will have its elements messed between the cachelines chaotically. Use __aligned_largest for this struct. This alignment is usually 16 bytes, which makes it fill two full cachelines and align an array nicely. ___cacheline_aligned may be excessive here, especially on arches with 128-256 byte CLs, as well as 32-bit arches (76 -> 96 bytes on MIPS32R2), while not doing better than _largest.

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.
