You are even admitting that even for your specific case you are using 3+ year old compiler technology. These are slow paths, so correctness is the most important aspect. Converting these locations to consistently use eth_*() is fine, but then "optimizing" a 6 by memset for configuration paths when the compiler should be more than capable of doing this just fine is not convincing at all to me. -- 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/
