From 47901dc2c4a3f1f9af453486a005d31fe9b393f0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jan Engelhardt Date: Thu, 9 Jul 2009 23:00:19 +0200 Subject: netfilter: xtables: use memcmp in unconditional check Instead of inspecting each u32/char open-coded, clean up and make use of memcmp. On some arches, memcmp is implemented as assembly or GCC's __builtin_memcmp which can possibly take advantages of known alignment.
