[PATCH] dynamic calculation of event message size for ctnetlink
This patch adds dynamic message size calculation for ctnetlink. This
reduces CPU consumption since the overhead in the message trimming
is removed.
Thanks for the patch.
Just did some performance tests. On average it saves 5% CPU usage at
~1600pps (UDP packets, 1000B payload, random source ports) on my router
(IXP4XX, 266Mhz).
With the unclean patch the performance gain was slightly higher. I have
posted it was 10%, but as far as I remember it was actually a bit less
then that. The remaining difference can be explained by the length
calculation overhead and measuring inaccuracy.
