From 47d29646a2c1c147d8a7598aeac2c87dd71ed638 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "David S. Miller" Date: Sun, 2 May 2010 02:21:44 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] net: Inline skb_pull() in eth_type_trans(). In commit 6be8ac2f ("[NET]: uninline skb_pull, de-bloats a lot") we uninlined skb_pull. But in some critical paths it makes sense to inline this thing and it helps performance significantly. Create an skb_pull_inline() so that we can do this in a way that serves also as annotation. Based upon a patch by Eric Dumazet. Signed-off-by: David S.
