  • As discussed at netconf'05, we're trying to save every bit in sk_buff.
    The patch below makes sk_buff 8 bytes smaller. I did some basic
    testing on my notebook and it seems to work.

    The only real in-tree user of nfcache was IPVS, who only needs a
    single bit. Unfortunately I couldn't find some other free bit in
    sk_buff to stuff that bit into, so I introduced a separate field for
    them. Maybe the IPVS guys can resolve that to further save space.

    Initially I wanted to shrink pkt_type to three bits (PACKET_HOST and
    alike are only 6 values defined), but unfortunately the bluetooth code
    overloads pkt_type :(

    The conntrack-event-api (out-of-tree) uses nfcache, but Rusty just
    came up with a way how to do it without any skb fields, so it's safe
    to remove it.

    - remove all never-implemented 'nfcache' code
    - don't have ipvs code abuse 'nfcache' field. currently get's their own
    compile-conditional skb->ipvs_property field. IPVS maintainers can
    decide to move this bit elswhere, but nfcache needs to die.
    - remove skb->nfcache field to save 4 bytes
    - move skb->nfctinfo into three unused bits to save further 4 bytes

  • Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
    even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
    archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
    3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
    git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
    infrastructure for it.

    Let it rip!
