From d314774cf2cd5dfeb39a00d37deee65d4c627927 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Stephen Hemminger Date: Wed, 19 Nov 2008 21:32:24 -0800 Subject: netdev: network device operations infrastructure This patch changes the network device internal API to move adminstrative operations out of the network device structure and into a separate structure. This patch involves some hackery to maintain compatablity between the new and old model, so all 300+ drivers don't have to be changed at once. For drivers that aren't converted yet, the netdevice_ops virt function list still resides in the net_device structure. For old protocols, the new net_device_ops are copied out to the old net_device pointers. After the transistion is completed the nag message can be changed to an WARN_ON, and the compatiablity code can be made configurable. Some function pointers aren't moved: * destructor can't be in net_device_ops because it may need to be referenced after the module is unloaded. * neighbor setup is manipulated in a couple of places that need special consideration * hard_start_xmit is in the fast path for transmit.

Add a new helper function which replaces the old use of internal_get_stats. Note: change return code to make it clear that the caller should not go changing the returned statistics.
