But it saves some text (~5k total in all network drivers)
and removes a branch on rx path on non-VLAN enabled kernels...

Done.

It removes "5K total" when you build every single networking driver
statically into the main kernel image.

Nobody does that except for build sanity testing.  Folks will
enable the drivers they need for their testing into a static
kernel, or build all the net drivers they want modular.

Please resist the urge to work on things like this in a robotic
fashion.  Consider whether the thing you're working on really matters
in real life, and whether the alternative you're providing is really
an overall improvement.  In this case you're "improving" a case only
kernel build testers will use, and the amount of ifdef's added by
your patches uglify the code immensely.  To me, that's a clear net
loss.

Wouldn't it be much easier to just do

#if defined(CONFIG_VLAN_8021Q) || defined(CONFIG_VLAN_8021Q_MODULE)
static inline int  vlan_tx_tag_present(...) {
 /** get VLAN tag */
}
#else
static inline  int vlan_tx_tag_present(...) {return 0;}
#endif

in some header file?

Similiar in typhoon.c:

#if defined(CONFIG_VLAN_8021Q) || defined(CONFIG_VLAN_8021Q_MODULE)
static inline  has_vlan_group(...) {
  /* get VLAN group */
}
#else
static inline  has_vlan_group(...) {return 0;}
#endif

With this and similiar changes in the drivers, 
your patch might be less intrusive and thus more acceptable to maintainers.

Just let the compiler remove the extra code with constant folding and dead
code elemination. The result will be even cleaner code, I think.

What do you think?

I thought more of introducing functions, which just fold away 
all the "if ()" blocks in normal code paths, 
which you wrapped into "#if" here. 

I don't think people have problems, if you #ifdef out complete functions,
linear setup code or structure members. People seem to have more problems
with #ifdef in control flow code, because there the condition is nothing else but
a compile time constant (the CONFIG_FOO value) which should be expressed as such.

Instead of 

#ifdef CONFIG_FOO
if (condition) {
}
#endif

just do

#ifdef CONFIG_FOO
#define foo 1
#else
#define foo 0
#endif

if  (foo && condition) {
}

Just do nothing or return a compile time constant in those inlines.

No problem, just optimize out the assignment itself:

#if defined(CONFIG_VLAN_8021Q) || defined(CONFIG_VLAN_8021Q_MODULE)
static inline void typhoon_setup_vlan_hooks(struct netdev *dev) {
         dev->vlan_rx_register = typhoon_vlan_rx_register;
         dev->vlan_rx_kill_vid = typhoon_vlan_rx_kill_vid;
}
#else
static inline void typhoon_setup_vlan_hooks(struct netdev *dev) { (void)dev; }
#endif

The whole linux/if_vlan.h stuff misses this style of code.
There is simply no fallback code for CONFIG_VLAN_8021Q not being defined.

DaveM beat me to it, but as he said, it saves 5K only if you have all
the drivers built in or loaded. And even if it saves 200 bytes in one
module, unless that module text was already less than 200 bytes into a
page, you've saved no memory -- a 4300 byte module takes 2 pages on x86,
as does a 4100 byte module.

The only savings is in instruction cache, and it would be better to
perhaps uninline vlan_hwaccel_receive_skb() or __vlan_hwaccel_rx() and
make vlan_tx_tag_present be

#if defined(CONFIG_VLAN_8021Q) || defined (CONFIG_VLAN_8021Q_MODULE)
#define vlan_tx_tag_present(__skb) \
        (VLAN_TX_SKB_CB(__skb)->magic == VLAN_TX_COOKIE_MAGIC)
#else
#define vlan_tx_tag_present(x) 	0
#endif

to get the cache savings on the hot paths without the ugliness.

NAK. The #ifdefs are ugly, for no significant gain.

And you introduced a race condition when you moved the spin_locks. The
test for tp->vlgrp is no longer protected.

I have most of network drivers built in.
I want network card to work right away in early boot,
and I prefer to not regenerate initrd with new nic modules for
each new kernel which I build for diskless stations.

Sometimes, those 200 bytes can bring module size just under 4096.
Thus on the average, on many modules you get the same size savings
as on built-in code. (Not that we have THAT many network modules...)

See attached. Much less #ifdefs (most of the time I test for compile time
constant VLAN_ENABLED in the if()s instead), the race is fixed.

Please apply your ugli-o-meter to it...

Do you really intend to say that you are the common case, and that this
5K really matters? I'm all for removing bloat, but not without looking
at the real savings vs the cost.

You're making a bogus leap from "sometimes" to "average".

Assuming an even distribution of lengths mod 4096, less than 5% of the
time will 200 bytes save any memory on a module.

Since we're both making big assumptions, only real numbers from built
modules would be convincing.

Testing for VLAN_ENABLED in an if statement is better than the ifdefs, I
agree, but I still find it ugly. Probably not ugly enough to argue about
it any more.

I don't like "VLAN_ENABLED" as a global define -- it looks too much like
something local. The CONFIG_VLAN... defines were more descriptive.

I didn't think about this before, but I'm pretty sure you're taking away
functionality. When I wrote the typhoon driver, ISTR that I looked
through the vlan implantation, and determined that all the #ifdefs on
CONFIG_VLAN_8021Q were not really needed, since all the hooks were
there. You could just load the 8021q module (even perhaps building it at
a later date), and it would work if you had filled in the hooks in
struct net_device. So I didn't #ifdef out code in my driver to let the
user have the option.

You're taking that away in the name of a total of 5K, which most users
won't actually get back?

[RFD][PATCH] typhoon and core sample for folding away VLAN stuff (was: Re: [PATCH] deinline a few large functions in vlan code v2)

[Ingo Oeser]

Hi Denis,

here is a sample patch for the vlan core and API plus
typhoon driver converted as example.

Just so you can see, what I meant with "No #if in control flow code."

I couldn't resist cleaning up the vlan core, while I'm at it. 
Of course I can seperate this, if you want the pure unilining stuff only.

So I hope this style is clear enough that you can do the rest of 
the conversion without any problems.

Dave Dillow: Is this style clean enough to have it in your driver?

This kind of changes are important, because bloat creeps in byte by byte
of unused features. So I really appreciate your work here Denis.


Regards

Ingo Oeser

Read the source, the macro handles it.

For i386:
	htons maps to __cpu_to_be16
	cpu_to_be16 maps to swab16 which is defined in swab.h

#  define __swab16(x) \
(__builtin_constant_p((__u16)(x)) ? \
 ___swab16((x)) : \
 __fswab16((x)))

As a policy, Ben, we only use __constant_htons() in compile
time initializers of data structures.  Otherwise we use the
normal htons().

That's why.

Though I'm not real fond of Denis's last patch, I think I prefer it's 
style to this, solely because it removes more code when VLANs are 
disabled -- you've left the spin_locks in, and have more #ifdefs.

Regardless, I remain opposed to this particular instance of bloat 
busting. While both patches have improved in style, they remove a useful 
feature and make the code less clean, for no net gain.

On SMP FC4, typhoon.ko has a text size of 68330, so you need to cut 2794 
bytes to see an actual difference in memory usage for a module. Non-SMP 
it is 67741, so there you only need to cut 2205 bytes to get a win.

Every byte counts, except when it doesn't.

It's not bogus. See below.

Ok, imagine perfect module size distribution, and suppose we shave 204
bytes off each module. 5% of the modules will have their size reduced
so that they occupy one 4k page less.

Those 5% of modules will have their RAM footprint reduced not
by just 204 bytes, but by 4096 bytes.

Total RAM footprint of all modules, in kb (N=number of modules):
before: sum_of_orig_module_size
after, modular: sum_of_orig_module_size - 0.05*N * 4096
after, builtin: sum_of_orig_module_size - N * 204

0.05*4096 = 204.53

That will require Kconfig changes. Maybe you would like "VLAN_ENABLED_KERNER"
name? It doesn't sound local...

IOW: currently most of VLAN code is already in kernel.
Then why do we have VLAN as a config option? Let's make it unconditional
(will add only 10k to core kernel)?

It started as a kernel-wide audit for huge inlines, I was not aiming
at VLAN particularly. But yes, when I saw other (not related to inlines)
opportunities to make code smaller, I decided to do it.

You know, people say that even Linux is getting fat these days.

What happened to non-modular build? "no net gain" is not true.

This is silly. Should I go this route and try a dozen of different gcc
versions and "-O2 versus -Os" things to demonstrate that sometimes
it will matter?

Hi Dave,

Ok, I can refactor your driver to even remove this and reduce it to exaxtly 
two ifdef sections for your driver. Acceptable?

   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
  62079     973       4   63056    f650 no-vlan/drivers/net/typhoon.o
  62654     973       4   63631    f88f vlan/drivers/net/typhoon.o

with allyesconfig (minus CONFIG_INFO) and my patches applied.
So maybe the uninlining is enough. Gain after this is just 575 bytes here.

My bad, I used a different notion of "average". You're using a
mathematical definition, and are of course correct in that case.

But to get your average, you have to either build all modules in, or
load every module. I'm saying the "average" user won't do that.

No, I'm saying most of the code is in 8021q.ko. The exceptions are the
big inlines you targeted, and I agree with moving them out-of-line.

Ok, so you saved what, 200 bytes? On a few drivers that may save you a
small amount -- you basically said you had to have everything loaded to
see 5K.

Weren't most of those savings from moving a big function out-of-line?
The part I agree with?

Quit being dense. No one has said that there are cases will it make a
difference, just that that case is far removed from the usual case.

I think I'm done on this topic. You've got more important people to
convince than me, and they've already clear stated their position.
