There's really no point in passing those as separate parameter. While
being at it, make them static const everywhere.

This data structure holds parser state information. A follow-up patch
will extract line parsing code into a separate function which will need
a place to persistently store this info in between calls.
While being at it, make 'in_table' variable boolean and drop some extra
braces in conditionals checking its value.

Move the loop code parsing a distinct line of input into a dedicated
function as a preparation for changing input sources. Since loop code
either calls continue or exit() directly, there is no need for a return
code to indicate failure.

Despite the diff's size, this is actually a small change: Pass
--ignore-space-change to git to see how few changes there actually are
besides the necessary indenting level change.

Due to reduced indenting level, some linebreaks are no longer needed.
OTOH, strings should not be split to aid in grepping for error output.

Old code in add_param_to_argv() assumed the input line would always end
with a newline character. Without it, the last word of input wasn't
recognized. Fix this by adding a final check for param.len (indicating
leftover data in buffer).
In line parsing code itself, only COMMIT line check required presence of
trailing newline. The replaced conditional is not 100% accurate as it
allows for characters after newline to be present, but since fgets() is
used this shouldn't happen anyway.

The reason for that full cache fetching when called with --noflush even
before looking at any input data was that there might be a command
requiring a rule cache following some rule add/insert ones which don't.
At that point one needs to fetch rules from kernel and try to insert the
local ones at the right spot which is non-trivial.
At the same time there is a performance-critical use-case for --noflush,
namely fast insertion of a bunch of rules in one go, avoiding the
process spawn overhead.
Optimize for this use-case by preloading input into a 64KB buffer to see
if it fits. If so, search for commands requiring a rule cache. If there
are none, skip initial full cache fetching.
The above algorithm may abort at any point, so actual input parsing must
happen in three stages:
1) parse all preloaded lines from 64KB buffer
2) parse any leftover line in line buffer (happens if input exceeds
the preload buffer size)
3) parse remaining input from input file pointer

Thanks, this is nice.
I can see this function:
static bool cmd_needs_full_cache(char *cmd)
the pre-parsing of the input to calculate the cache, which is good.
One thing: why do you need the conversion from \n to \0. The idea is
to read once from the file and keep it in a buffer, then pass it to
the original parsing function after this pre-parsing to calculate the
cache.
Please, add this to the remaining patches of this series.

Excellent question! It took me quite a while to figure out why it is
necessary to drop the trailing newlines when buffering input: In
add_param_to_argv() I couldn't find what my comment described, yet when
I removed the newline character dropping code some shell tests started
failing.
The real reason is this: When reading a table or chain definition line,
xtables_restore_parse_line() uses strtok() to eliminate trailing
whitespace or newline characters. This in turn mangles input buffer,
replacing the newline chars by nul chars.
The above turns into a problem when xtables_restore_parse() then updates
the pointer to the next string in buffer by calling:
| ptr += strlen(ptr) + 1;
With double nul chars, 'ptr' will point at the second one and that
matches the loop exit condition so we'll lose the remaining buffered
lines.
I'll fix the comment before pushing the commits out.
