| Hi Alexey,
| 
| Today's linux-next build (powerpc ppc64_defconfig) failed like this:
| 
| drivers/net/pppoe.c: In function 'pppoe_seq_open':
| drivers/net/pppoe.c:1102: error: implicit declaration of function 'PDE_NET'
| drivers/net/pppol2tp.c: In function 'pppol2tp_proc_open':
| drivers/net/pppol2tp.c:2579: error: implicit declaration of function 'PDE_NET'
| 
| Caused by commits a6bcf1c1d38e0672db35e0d9f2504ac04ddf3ed5 ("net: pppoe -
| introduce net-namespace functionality") and
| 4e9fb8016a351b5b9da7fea32bcfdbc9d836e421 ("net: pppol2tp - introduce
| net-namespace functionality") from the net tree interacting with commit
| 0e6a2bfcbae4ee3cf770a6a5da203b4a336ff8ff ("proc 5/6: simplify network
| namespace lookup") from the proc tree.
| 
| I added the following fix to the merge and can carry it as necessary.
| 
| I expect that there is a better fix for this, though.  These are the only
| references to PDE_NET outside fs/proc.

Hi Stephen,

thanks for catching this. Until I miss something --
s_fs_info for /proc is struct pid_namespace* right?
So maybe_get_net will convert it to net*, which is
not right I guess. On the other hand -- and PDE, and
PDE_NET is defined in proc_fs.h regardless if CONIG_PROC_FS
is turned on/off. Confused...

(to be fair -- this maybe_get_net(PDE_NET(PDE(inode))) is
 taken from proc_net.c:get_proc_net, but to eliminate #ifdef
 I reimplemented it, which is not good too -- maybe I've been
 to put get_proc_net into some header, Eric?)
