Date: Mon, 08 Oct 2007 00:18:07 -0700 (PDT) From: David Miller <davem@...emloft.net> To: xemul@...nvz.org Cc: ebiederm@...ssion.com, netdev@...r.kernel.org, devel@...nvz.org Subject: Re: [PATCH][NETNS] Move some code into __init section when CONFIG_NET_NS=n From: Pavel Emelyanov <xemul@...nvz.org> Date: Thu, 04 Oct 2007 17:54:11 +0400 > With the net namespaces many code leaved the __init section, > thus making the kernel occupy more memory than it did before. > Since we have a config option that prohibits the namespace > creation, the functions that initialize/finalize some netns > stuff are simply not needed and can be freed after the boot. > > Currently, this is almost not noticeable, since few calls > are no longer in __init, but when the namespaces will be > merged it will be possible to free more code. I propose to > use the __net_init, __net_exit and __net_initdata "attributes" > for functions/variables that are not used if the CONFIG_NET_NS > is not set to save more space in memory. > > Signed-off-by: Pavel Emelyanov <xemul@...nvz.org> Applied, thanks Pavel. - 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
