By adding two pointer variables to net/ipv4/netfilter/ipt_LOG.c::dump_packet() we can save 16 bytes of .text and 9 pointer dereferences. before this patch we did 20 pointer dereferences and had this object file size: text data bss dec hex filename 6233 600 3080 9913 26b9 net/ipv4/netfilter/ipt_LOG.o after this patch we do just 11 pointer dereferences and have this object file size: text data bss dec hex filename 6217 600 3080 9897 26a9 net/ipv4/netfilter/ipt_LOG.o Please Cc me on replies.
