Subject: [PATCH 1/2] net: ethernet address comparison optimizations
Date: Fri, 30 Jan 2026 10:46:16 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260130104617.535413-1-mb@smartsharesystems.com> (raw)

For CPU architectures without strict alignment requirements, operations on
6-byte Ethernet addresses using three 2-byte operations were replaced by a
4-byte and a 2-byte operation, i.e. two operations instead of three.

Comparison functions are pure, so added __rte_pure.

Removed superfluous parentheses. (No functional change.)
