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")
