commit 08361aa807ae5e5007cd226ca9e34287512de737 Author: Eric Dumazet <dada1@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri Feb 20 11:03:33 2009 +0100 netfilter: ip_tables: unfold two critical loops in ip_packet_match() While doing oprofile tests I noticed two loops are not properly unrolled by gcc Using a hand coded unrolled loop provides nice speedup : ipt_do_table credited of 2.52 % of cpu instead of 3.29 % in tbench.
