From a9e419dc7be6997409dca6d1b9daf3cc7046902f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Florian Westphal Date: Mon, 23 Jan 2017 18:21:59 +0100 Subject: netfilter: merge ctinfo into nfct pointer storage area After this change conntrack operations (lookup, creation, matching from ruleset) only access one instead of two sk_buff cache lines. This works for normal conntracks because those are allocated from a slab that guarantees hw cacheline or 8byte alignment (whatever is larger) so the 3 bits needed for ctinfo won't overlap with nf_conn addresses. Template allocation now does manual address alignment (see previous change) on arches that don't have sufficent kmalloc min alignment. Some spots intentionally use skb->_nfct instead of skb_nfct() helpers, this is to avoid undoing the skb_nfct() use when we remove untracked conntrack object in the future.
