Yes, thats exactly the problem. So for example if we'd switch to allocating the jumpstack in the percpu area (rather than just a pointer as we do now) we would need to revert that since percpu allocations have sie limitations (64k max iirc). HOWEVER, the real problem is -- if you apply this, how long would you propose to wait before we would leverage the limitation in further patches? I'd say 3 years minimum, and I'd rather see nft ready by then :) So I'd say drop patch 6. -- 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
