[PATCH nft 3/5] datatype: don't clone datatype in set_datatype_alloc() if byteorder already matches

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



"struct datatype" instances are treated immutable and not changed after
creation.  set_datatype_alloc() returns a const pointer, indicating that
the caller must not modify the instance anymore. In particular it must
not, because for non-integer types we just return a reference to the
(already immutable) orig_dtype.

If the byteorder that we are about to set is already as-requested, there
is no need to clone the instance either. Just return a reference to
orig_dtype() too.

Also drop the same optimization from key_fix_dtype_byteorder().
