Subject: [PATCH net-next 0/6] Per-net and on-demand link indices (and related) v2
Date: Mon, 06 Aug 2012 18:13:06 +0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <501FD0F2.4040609@parallels.com> (raw)

Hi!

This set tries to summarize the recent discussion of making ifindices friendly
to checkpoint-restore and consists of:

1. Prepare hash function to non-unique ifindices
2. Allow for specifying the desired ifindex on net link creation
3. Make ifindex generation per-net
4. Simplify loopback device ifindex access

Changes since v1:

* Fixed a stupid mistake with a pointer bits shift
* Turned the netdev_hash_mix routine into the generic ptr_hash_mix one
* Added a comment describing why loopback index is always 1 after the patch

Thanks,
Pavel
