tun: remove possible false sharing in tun_flow_update()
As mentioned in https://github.com/google/ktsan/wiki/READ_ONCE-and-WRITE_ONCE#it-may-improve-performance a C compiler can legally transform if (e->queue_index != queue_index) e->queue_index = queue_index; to : e->queue_index = queue_index; Note that the code using jiffies has no issue, since jiffies has volatile attribute. if (e->updated != jiffies) e->updated = jiffies; Fixes: 83b1bc122cab ("tun: align write-heavy flow entry members to a cache line") Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Cc: Zhang Yu <zhangyu31@baidu.com> Cc: Wang Li <wangli39@baidu.com> Cc: Li RongQing <lirongqing@baidu.com> Acked-by: Jason Wang <jasowang@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski <jakub.kicinski@netronome.com>
