Subject: [PATCH] netlink: smaller nla_attr_minlen table
Date: Sat, 19 Nov 2016 03:59:07 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20161119005907.GE1200@avx2> (raw)
Length of a netlink attribute may be u16 but lengths of basic attributes
are much smaller, so small we can save 16 bytes of .rodata and pocket
change inside .text.
16-bit is worse on x86-64 than 8-bit because of operand size override prefix.
add/remove: 0/0 grow/shrink: 0/3 up/down: 0/-19 (-19)
function old new delta
validate_nla 418 417 -1
nla_policy_len 66 64 -2
nla_attr_minlen 32 16 -16
Total: Before=154865051, After=154865032, chg -0.00%
