Please CC netfilter-devel on netfilter patches. Denys Vlasenko wrote:
Hi Patrick, Harald, I was working on unrelated problem and noticed that ip_tables.c seem to abuse inline. I prepared a patch which removes inlines except those which are used by packet matching code (and thus are really performance-critical). I added comments explaining that remaining inlines are performance critical. Result as reported by size: text data bss dec hex filename - 6451 380 88 6919 1b07 ip_tables.o + 6339 348 72 6759 1a67 ip_tables.o Please take this patch into netfilter queue.
This clashes with my pending patches, which I'll push upstream today. I also spent some time resyncing ip_tables and ip6_tables so a diff of both (with some sed'ing) shows only the actual differences, so please update ip6_tables as well. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netfilter-devel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
