Subject[PATCH] net/netfilter/x_tables.c: use __seq_open_private()
Date
Reduce boilerplate code by using __seq_open_private() instead of seq_open()
in xt_match_open() and xt_target_open().

Signed-off-by: Rob Jones <rob.jones@codethink.co.uk>
---

This patch uses an existing variant of seq_open() to reduce the kernel code
size.

The only significant variation from the pre-existing code is the fact that
__seq_open_private() calls kzalloc() rather than kmalloc(), which could
conceivably have an impact on timing.
