netfilter: reduce size of hook entry point locations
struct net contains: struct nf_hook_entries __rcu *hooks[NFPROTO_NUMPROTO][NF_MAX_HOOKS]; which store the hook entry point locations for the various protocol families and the hooks. Using array results in compact c code when doing accesses, i.e. x = rcu_dereference(net->nf.hooks[pf][hook]); but its also wasting a lot of memory, as most families are not used. So split the array into those families that are used, which are only 5 (instead of 13). In most cases, the 'pf' argument is constant, i.e. gcc removes switch statement. struct net before: /* size: 5184, cachelines: 81, members: 46 */ after: /* size: 4672, cachelines: 73, members: 46 */ Signed-off-by: Florian Westphal <fw@strlen.de> Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>
