hmm... Not sure how you get such large numbers...

Here I have :

# size net/ipv4/udp.o.*
   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
  21989	    616	      9	  22614	   5856	net/ipv4/udp.o.old
  21957	    616	      9	  22582	   5836	net/ipv4/udp.o.new


With CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE=y I even have an opposite result (code
gets bigger after your patch)

# size net/ipv4/udp.o.*
   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
  17242	    600	      9	  17851	   45bb	net/ipv4/udp.o.old
  17256	    600	      9	  17865	   45c9	net/ipv4/udp.o.new

Anyway, your patch looks fine to me, no matter what the code size is.
