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

It was overwriting the computer n->tc_verd value over
and over with skb->tc_verd, by mistake.

Finds a pattern in the skb data according to the specified
textsearch configuration. Use textsearch_next() to retrieve
subsequent occurrences of the pattern. Returns the offset
to the first occurrence or UINT_MAX if no match was found.

Implements sequential reading for both linear and non-linear
skb data at zerocopy cost. The data is returned in chunks of
arbitary length, therefore random access is not possible.

Usage:
	from	 := 0
	to	 := 128
	state	 := undef
	data	 := undef
	len	 := undef
	consumed := 0

	skb_prepare_seq_read(skb, from, to, &state)
	while (len = skb_seq_read(consumed, &data, &state)) != 0 do
		/* do something with 'data' of length 'len' */
		if abort then
			/* abort read if we don't wait for
			 * skb_seq_read() to return 0 */
			skb_abort_seq_read(&state)
			return
		endif
		/* not necessary to consume all of 'len' */
		consumed += len
	done

While we're at it, lets also replace KERN_INFO by KERN_EMERG to

So here is a patch that introduces skb_store_bits -- the opposite of

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!
