From 7c9664351980aaa6a4b8837a314360b3a4ad382a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Florian Westphal Date: Tue, 5 Jul 2016 12:07:23 +0200 Subject: netfilter: move nat hlist_head to nf_conn The nat extension structure is 32bytes in size on x86_64: struct nf_conn_nat { struct hlist_node bysource; /* 0 16 */ struct nf_conn * ct; /* 16 8 */ union nf_conntrack_nat_help help; /* 24 4 */ int masq_index; /* 28 4 */ /* size: 32, cachelines: 1, members: 4 */ /* last cacheline: 32 bytes */ }; The hlist is needed to quickly check for possible tuple collisions when installing a new nat binding. Storing this in the extension area has two drawbacks: 1. We need ct backpointer to get the conntrack struct from the extension. 2. When reallocation of extension area occurs we need to fixup the bysource hash head via hlist_replace_rcu. We can avoid both by placing the hlist_head in nf_conn and place nf_conn in the bysource hash rather than the extenstion. We can also remove the ->move support; no other extension needs it. Moving the entire nat extension into nf_conn would be possible as well but then we have to add yet another callback for deletion from the bysource hash table rather than just using nat extension ->destroy hook for this. nf_conn size doesn't increase due to aligment, followup patch replaces hlist_node with single pointer.
