We have 200+ byte inlines in sock.h. That's way too large in my opinion. Sizes in bytes (i386) and files where those inlines are used: 238 sock_queue_rcv_skb 2.6.16/net/x25/x25_in.o 238 sock_queue_rcv_skb 2.6.16/net/rose/rose_in.o 238 sock_queue_rcv_skb 2.6.16/net/packet/af_packet.o 238 sock_queue_rcv_skb 2.6.16/net/netrom/nr_in.o 238 sock_queue_rcv_skb 2.6.16/net/llc/llc_sap.o 238 sock_queue_rcv_skb 2.6.16/net/llc/llc_conn.o 238 sock_queue_rcv_skb 2.6.16/net/irda/af_irda.o 238 sock_queue_rcv_skb 2.6.16/net/ipx/af_ipx.o 238 sock_queue_rcv_skb 2.6.16/net/ipv6/udp.o 238 sock_queue_rcv_skb 2.6.16/net/ipv6/raw.o 238 sock_queue_rcv_skb 2.6.16/net/ipv4/udp.o 238 sock_queue_rcv_skb 2.6.16/net/ipv4/raw.o 238 sock_queue_rcv_skb 2.6.16/net/ipv4/ipmr.o 238 sock_queue_rcv_skb 2.6.16/net/econet/econet.o 238 sock_queue_rcv_skb 2.6.16/net/econet/af_econet.o 238 sock_queue_rcv_skb 2.6.16/net/bluetooth/sco.o 238 sock_queue_rcv_skb 2.6.16/net/bluetooth/l2cap.o 238 sock_queue_rcv_skb 2.6.16/net/bluetooth/hci_sock.o 238 sock_queue_rcv_skb 2.6.16/net/ax25/ax25_in.o 238 sock_queue_rcv_skb 2.6.16/net/ax25/af_ax25.o 238 sock_queue_rcv_skb 2.6.16/net/appletalk/ddp.o 238 sock_queue_rcv_skb 2.6.16/drivers/net/pppoe.o 276 sk_receive_skb 2.6.16/net/decnet/dn_nsp_in.o 276 sk_receive_skb 2.6.16/net/dccp/ipv6.o 276 sk_receive_skb 2.6.16/net/dccp/ipv4.o 276 sk_receive_skb 2.6.16/net/dccp/dccp_ipv6.o 276 sk_receive_skb 2.6.16/drivers/net/pppoe.o 209 sk_dst_check 2.6.16/net/ipv6/ip6_output.o 209 sk_dst_check 2.6.16/net/ipv4/udp.o 209 sk_dst_check 2.6.16/net/decnet/dn_nsp_out.o Should I also attack sock_recv_timestamp() etc?
