From dc808fe28db59fadf4ec32d53f62477fa28f3be8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Harald Welte Date: Mon, 20 Mar 2006 17:56:32 -0800 Subject: [NETFILTER] nf_conntrack: clean up to reduce size of 'struct nf_conn' This patch moves all helper related data fields of 'struct nf_conn' into a separate structure 'struct nf_conn_help'. This new structure is only present in conntrack entries for which we actually have a helper loaded. Also, this patch cleans up the nf_conntrack 'features' mechanism to resemble what the original idea was: Just glue the feature-specific data structures at the end of 'struct nf_conn', and explicitly re-calculate the pointer to it when needed rather than keeping pointers around. Saves 20 bytes per conntrack on my x86_64 box. A non-helped conntrack is 276 bytes. We still need to save another 20 bytes in order to fit into to target of 256bytes.
