Hi Patrick, Harald,

I was working on unrelated problem and noticed that ip_tables.c
seem to abuse inline. I prepared a patch which removes inlines
except those which are used by packet matching code
(and thus are really performance-critical).
I added comments explaining that remaining inlines are
performance critical.

Result as reported by size:

text data bss dec hex filename
- 6451 380 88 6919 1b07 ip_tables.o
+ 6339 348 72 6759 1a67 ip_tables.o

Please take this patch into netfilter queue.


This clashes with my pending patches, which I'll push upstream
today. I also spent some time resyncing ip_tables and ip6_tables
so a diff of both (with some sed'ing) shows only the actual
differences, so please update ip6_tables as well.
