Subject: [PATCH ipsec-next 00/11] xfrm: remove xfrm_mode indirections

This series removes all function pointers from the xfrm_mode struct.
They are either replaced by direct calls or a static helper.

This also reduces code size: even merging all xfrm{4,6}_,mode* modules
into the core reduces total size, as the infrastructure to maintain
dynamic (un)register can be removed.

There are more opportunities for indirection avoidance, e.g. in
xfrm_type.

I plan to follow up once/if this series is accepted.
This is quite some code churn, but I think its worth doing.

Tested with xfrm tunnel mode via netns with esp/aead.

Florian Westphal (11):
      xfrm: place af number into xfrm_mode struct
      xfrm: prefer family stored in xfrm_mode struct
      xfrm: remove input indirection from xfrm_mode
      xfrm: remove output indirection from xfrm_mode
      xfrm: remove xmit indirection from xfrm_mode
      xfrm: remove gso_segment indirection from xfrm_mode
      xfrm: remove input2 indirection from xfrm_mode
      xfrm: remove output2 indirection from xfrm_mode
      xfrm: remove afinfo pointer from xfrm_mode
      xfrm: make xfrm modes builtin
      xfrm: store xfrm_mode directly, not its address
