Subject: [PATCH libnetfilter_queue v2 0/1] New pktb_make() function
Date: Mon, 6 Jan 2020 14:17:13 +1100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200106031714.12390-1-duncan_roe@optusnet.com.au> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20191210112634.11511-1-duncan_roe@optusnet.com.au>
This patch offers a faster alternative / replacement function to pktb_alloc().
pktb_make() is a copy of the first part of pktb_alloc() modified to use a
supplied buffer rather than calloc() one. It then calls the second part of
pktb_alloc() which is modified to be a static function.
Can't think of a use case where one would choose to use pktb_alloc over
pktb_make.
In a furure documentation update, might relegate pktb_alloc and pktb_free to
"other functions".
