With this we save 8 bytes per network packet, leaving a 4 bytes hole to be used
in further shrinking work, likely with the offsetization of other pointers,
such as ->{data,tail,end}, at the cost of adds, that were minimized by the
usual practice of setting skb->{mac,nh,n}.raw to a local variable that is then
accessed multiple times in each function, it also is not more expensive than
before with regards to most of the handling of such headers, like setting one
of these headers to another (transport to network, etc), or subtracting, adding
to/from it, comparing them, etc.
Now we have this layout for sk_buff on a x86_64 machine:
[acme@mica net-2.6.22]$ pahole vmlinux sk_buff
struct sk_buff {
struct sk_buff * next; /* 0 8 */
struct sk_buff * prev; /* 8 8 */

unsigned char * head; /* 232 8 */
unsigned char * data; /* 240 8 */
unsigned char * tail; /* 248 8 */
/* --- cacheline 4 boundary (256 bytes) --- */
unsigned char * end; /* 256 8 */
}; /* size: 264, cachelines: 5 */
/* sum members: 260, holes: 1, sum holes: 4 */
/* bit holes: 1, sum bit holes: 2 bits */
/* last cacheline: 8 bytes */
On 32 bits nothing changes, and pointers continue to be used with the compiler
turning all this abstraction layer into dust. But there are some sk_buff
validation tricks that are now possible, humm... :-)

Renaming skb->h to skb->transport_header, skb->nh to skb->network_header and
skb->mac to skb->mac_header, to match the names of the associated helpers
(skb[_[re]set]_{transport,network,mac}_header).

This time we have to set it to skb->tail that is not anymore equal to
skb->data, so we either add a new helper or just add the skb->tail - skb->data
offset, for now do the later.

skb_push updates and returns skb->data, so we can just call
skb_reset_network_header after the call to skb_push.

As discussed at netconf'05, we're trying to save every bit in sk_buff.
The patch below makes sk_buff 8 bytes smaller. I did some basic
testing on my notebook and it seems to work.
The only real in-tree user of nfcache was IPVS, who only needs a
single bit. Unfortunately I couldn't find some other free bit in
sk_buff to stuff that bit into, so I introduced a separate field for
them. Maybe the IPVS guys can resolve that to further save space.
Initially I wanted to shrink pkt_type to three bits (PACKET_HOST and
alike are only 6 values defined), but unfortunately the bluetooth code
overloads pkt_type :(
The conntrack-event-api (out-of-tree) uses nfcache, but Rusty just
came up with a way how to do it without any skb fields, so it's safe
to remove it.
- remove all never-implemented 'nfcache' code
- don't have ipvs code abuse 'nfcache' field. currently get's their own
compile-conditional skb->ipvs_property field. IPVS maintainers can
decide to move this bit elswhere, but nfcache needs to die.
- remove skb->nfcache field to save 4 bytes
- move skb->nfctinfo into three unused bits to save further 4 bytes

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
