I agree running in 1024 bytes would be challenging. > Adding ~1000 lines of code to save few KB was the point I gave up. You're refering to fib_list? It currently has some duplicated code (this could/should be fixed). Or we could drop it, I suppose, if really everyone hates it. (I thought it was a cute idea, but I'm biased :-) Total it is saving 350k, about 30% of the total text size of the mini kernel (plus some dynamic savings) with networking. I would be happy to fix any reasonable objection. But fundamental "I don't care about anything smaller than my smart phone" type arguments are not particularly constructive. -Andi -- a...@linux.intel.com -- Speaking for myself only -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
