Subject: [PATCH] compat: backport ether_addr_equal
Date: Wed, 16 May 2012 12:55:48 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1337162148-16499-1-git-send-email-ozancag@gmail.com> (raw)
This backports:
commit a599b0f54d233d0f63d6be9a2ff0049d24751669
Author: Joe Perches <joe@perches.com>
Date: Tue May 8 18:56:45 2012 +0000
etherdevice.h: Add ether_addr_equal
Add a boolean function to check if 2 ethernet addresses
are the same.
This is to avoid any confusion about compare_ether_addr
returning an unsigned, and not being able to use the
compare_ether_addr function for sorting ala memcmp.
