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
And you verified the compiler isn't making these transformations
already?
Didn't the provided size(1) output would verify this?
In any case, I like the changes because it makes the code more readable,
with the smaller code size as a pleasant side effect. Due to increase
readability, I would only be inclined to NAK if the code
performance/size was adversely effected.
