X-Git-Tag: omap-for-v4.2/fixes-rc1^2~134^2~68^2~3 X-Git-Url: http://git.openpandora.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=711bdde6a884354ddae8da2fcb495b2a9364cc90;p=pandora-kernel.git 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.
