Subject: [PATCH net-next] etherdevice: Optimize compare_ether_addr/ether_addr_equal
Date: Sat, 31 Aug 2013 01:54:16 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1377939256.2054.11.camel@joe-AO722> (raw)

When CONFIG_HAS_EFFICIENT_UNALIGNED_ACCESS is set,
optimize compare_ether_addr a little by removing an
xor and or by using a u32 and u16 comparison
instead of 3 separate u16 comparisons.

Make the ether_addr_equal_64bits code a bit simpler
by adding a test for CONFIG_64BIT and calling
ether_addr_equal otherwise.

This also slightly improves ether_addr_equal_64bits
by removing the zap_last_2bytes shifts in the !64bit
case.
