Subject: netlink: smaller nla_attr_minlen table
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=32d84cdcfde00f28f6133f0e2b015c86f2466fb1;p=linux-beck.git

netlink: smaller nla_attr_minlen table

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.
