From: Andriy Berestovskyy Date: Tue, 23 Jan 2018 15:43:16 +0000 (+0100) Subject: keepalive: fix state alignment X-Git-Tag: spdx-start~6 X-Git-Url: http://git.droids-corp.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=462d9189374f582166ff77b8c301b89947d016cc;p=dpdk.git keepalive: fix state alignment The __rte_cache_aligned was applied to the whole array, not the array elements. This leads to a false sharing between the monitored cores.
