From 08361aa807ae5e5007cd226ca9e34287512de737 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Dumazet Date: Fri, 20 Feb 2009 11:03:33 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] netfilter: ip_tables: unfold two critical loops in ip_packet_match() While doing oprofile tests I noticed two loops are not properly unrolled by gcc Using a hand coded unrolled loop provides nice speedup : ipt_do_table credited of 2.52 % of cpu instead of 3.29 % in tbench.
