Now pahole sctp_chunk, it has 2 memory holes:
struct sctp_chunk {
struct list_head list;
atomic_t refcnt;
/* XXX 4 bytes hole, try to pack */
...
long unsigned int prsctp_param;
int sent_count;
/* XXX 4 bytes hole, try to pack */
This patch is to move up sent_count to fill the 1st one and eliminate
the 2nd one.
It's not just another struct compaction, it also fixes the "netperf-
Throughput_Mbps -37.2% regression" issue when overloading the CPU.
Fixes: a6c2f792873a ("sctp: implement prsctp TTL policy")
