    idpf: split &idpf_queue into 4 strictly-typed queue structures · e4891e46
    Alexander Lobakin authored
    Currently, sizeof(struct idpf_queue) is 32 Kb.
    This is due to the 12-bit hashtable declaration at the end of the queue.
    This HT is needed only for Tx queues when the flow scheduling mode is
    enabled. But &idpf_queue is unified for all of the queue types,
    provoking excessive memory usage.
    The unified structure in general makes the code less effective via
    suboptimal fields placement. You can't avoid that unless you make unions
    each 2 fields. Even then, different field alignment etc., doesn't allow
    you to optimize things to the limit.
    Split &idpf_queue into 4 structures corresponding to the queue types:
    RQ (Rx queue), SQ (Tx queue), FQ (buffer queue), and CQ (completion
    queue). Place only needed fields there and shortcuts handy for hotpath.
    Allocate the abovementioned hashtable dynamically and only when needed,
    keeping &idpf_tx_queue relatively short (192 bytes, same as Rx). This HT
    is used only for OOO completions, which aren't really hotpath anyway.
    Note that this change must be done atomically, otherwise it's really
    easy to get lost and miss something.
