From f001fde5eadd915f4858d22ed70d7040f48767cf Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jiri Pirko Date: Tue, 5 May 2009 02:48:28 +0000 Subject: net: introduce a list of device addresses dev_addr_list (v6) v5 -> v6 (current): -removed so far unused static functions -corrected dev_addr_del_multiple to call del instead of add v4 -> v5: -added device address type (suggested by davem) -removed refcounting (better to have simplier code then safe potentially few bytes) v3 -> v4: -changed kzalloc to kmalloc in __hw_addr_add_ii() -ASSERT_RTNL() avoided in dev_addr_flush() and dev_addr_init() v2 -> v3: -removed unnecessary rcu read locking -moved dev_addr_flush() calling to ensure no null dereference of dev_addr v1 -> v2: -added forgotten ASSERT_RTNL to dev_addr_init and dev_addr_flush -removed unnecessary rcu_read locking in dev_addr_init -use compare_ether_addr_64bits instead of compare_ether_addr -use L1_CACHE_BYTES as size for allocating struct netdev_hw_addr -use call_rcu instead of rcu_synchronize -moved is_etherdev_addr into __KERNEL__ ifdef This patch introduces a new list in struct net_device and brings a set of functions to handle the work with device address list. The list is a replacement for the original dev_addr field and because in some situations there is need to carry several device addresses with the net device. To be backward compatible, dev_addr is made to point to the first member of the list so original drivers sees no difference. Signed-off-by: Jiri Pirko Signed-off-by: David S.
