Uninlining a static inline that basically does no more than index into an array is nothing more than pure folly. So please don't try to weasel your way out of accepting this basic fact. That's exactly the situation where the implementation of an abstraction via a static inline is exactly the thing to do. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
