Biederman" Date: Wed, 11 Mar 2015 23:04:08 -0500 Subject: net: Kill hold_net release_net hold_net and release_net were an idea that turned out to be useless. The code has been disabled since 2008. Kill the code it is long past due. Signed-off-by: "Eric W. Biederman" Acked-by: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: David S.

Biederman" Date: Wed, 11 Mar 2015 23:06:44 -0500 Subject: net: Introduce possible_net_t Having to say > #ifdef CONFIG_NET_NS > struct net *net; > #endif in structures is a little bit wordy and a little bit error prone. Instead it is possible to say: > typedef struct { > #ifdef CONFIG_NET_NS > struct net *net; > #endif > } possible_net_t; And then in a header say: > possible_net_t net; Which is cleaner and easier to use and easier to test, as the possible_net_t is always there no matter what the compile options. Further this allows read_pnet and write_pnet to be functions in all cases which is better at catching typos. This change adds possible_net_t, updates the definitions of read_pnet and write_pnet, updates optional struct net * variables that write_pnet uses on to have the type possible_net_t, and finally fixes up the b0rked users of read_pnet and write_pnet.
