From e377fcc8486d40867c6c217077ad0fa40977e060 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Michael S. Tsirkin" Date: Mon, 6 Mar 2017 22:21:35 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] virtio_net: reduce alignment for buffers We don't need to align length to any particular value anymore. Aligning to L1 cache size probably sill makes sense to reduce false sharing. Signed-off-by: Michael S.
