rGe4a873bf10b7: tcp: improve layout of struct tcpcb
Summary

Move the conditional stuff to the end. I hope we can remove TCPPCAP in FreeBSD 15.

Not using #ifdef for TCP_ACCOUNTING and TCP_REQUEST_TRK would increase the size of the struct. I am open to it, but based on a discussion with rrs@, the compromise was to move them to the end.

Moving to the end is certainly sensible. Have you checked for any padding holes on at least LP64 with ptype /o in GDB?

You're creating a 7 byte alignment hole.. I'd try to keep the uint8_t's together. Eg, put TCP_ACCOUNTING in a different place, and put the tcp_hybrid* after tcp_sendfile_track.

When moving TCP_ACCOUNTING around, it is not at the end anymore... That is the only intention here...

Avoid holes on 64-bit systems when all options are defined.

Moved things around, now avoiding any holes on 64-bit platforms when TCP_ACCOUNTING and TCP_REQUEST_TRK is defined.

About t_osd. It seems to be used only by alternative cc modules. Can we move it into their software context structures?
