From 711bdde6a884354ddae8da2fcb495b2a9364cc90 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Dumazet Date: Mon, 15 Jun 2015 09:57:30 -0700 Subject: netfilter: x_tables: remove XT_TABLE_INFO_SZ and a dereference. After Florian patches, there is no need for XT_TABLE_INFO_SZ anymore : Only one copy of table is kept, instead of one copy per cpu. We also can avoid a dereference if we put table data right after xt_table_info. It reduces register pressure and helps compiler. Then, we attempt a kmalloc() if total size is under order-3 allocation, to reduce TLB pressure, as in many cases, rules fit in 32 KB.
