Subject: [PATCH] Decrease number of pointer derefs in nfnetlink_queue.c
Date: Thu, 8 Dec 2005 23:36:01 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <200512082336.01678.jesper.juhl@gmail.com> (raw)

Hi,

Here's a small patch to decrease the number of pointer derefs in
net/netfilter/nfnetlink_queue.c

Benefits of the patch:
 - Fewer pointer dereferences should make the code slightly faster.
 - Size of generated code is smaller
 - improved readability

Please consider applying.
