Subject: [PATCH net-next 01/12] net: bridge: introduce a bridge destination type
Date: Wed, 30 Sep 2026 10:14:00 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260930071411.2786201-2-razor@blackwall.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260930071411.2786201-1-razor@blackwall.org>

Add an opaque destination type and helpers for representing bridge port
destinations. Using a separate structure makes raw pointer assignments and
comparisons fail at build time while marking its value member __private
makes sparse warn about accesses that bypass the helpers.
