From 1a37e412a0225fcba5587f24c0dfc7636efc8b69 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Simon Horman Date: Thu, 23 May 2013 21:02:51 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] net: Use 16bits for *_headers fields of struct skbuff In order to mitigate ongoing incresase in the size of struct skbuff use 16 bit integer offsets rather than pointers for inner_*_headers. This appears to reduce the size of struct skbuff from 0xd0 to 0xc0 bytes on x86_64 with the following all unset.
