[Patch net-next v2 5/8] sunrpc: use generic union inet_addr

[Patch net-next v2 5/8] sunrpc: use generic union inet_addr

[Cong Wang]

From: Cong Wang <amwang@redhat.com>

sunrpc defines some helper functions for sockaddr, actually they
can re-use the generic functions for union inet_addr too.

Only some of these patches in this series have made it to lists to
which I'm subscribed, so I may be missing some context here...

I'm not sure I really understand the value of "union inet_addr". Why
not just use the conventional method of passing around "struct sockaddr"
pointers, and then casting them to struct sockaddr_in/sockaddr_in6
depending on what the sa_family is set to?

With that you wouldn't need to leave the (now pointless) rpc_* wrappers
in place and could just call your new helpers directly.

Not exactly...

He asked why you were keeping the wrappers and you replied that it was
because you didn't want to change all of the callers of rpc_get_port.
That's a fair enough answer to his question.

My question is a bit more fundamental: Why are you using this new union
in your patches instead of simply passing around "struct sockaddr"
pointers? If you did that, then you could simply replace all of the
rpc_* wrappers with your generic ones, since you wouldn't need to do
the cast to this (seemingly unnecessary) union.

FWIW, I too am happy to see these routines moved to common code. I just
wonder whether it might make more sense to use the existing convention
instead of this new union.

Because there are some places have to interpret the structure, without
this union, they need to cast to either sockaddr_in or sockaddr_in6
first, which is not as pretty as using a union.

For example, the code in netpoll:

ipv6_addr_equal(daddr, &np->local_ip.sin6.sin6_addr)

without the union, it would be:

struct sockaddr_in6 *addr = (struct sockaddr_in6 *) &np->local_ip;
ipv6_addr_equal(daddr, addr->sin6_addr);

Ok, good point. That does look cleaner. I'd still like to see the rpc_*
wrappers go away, but that can be done later.

I will move the wrappers to generic since several people asked.

  Because there are some places have to interpret the structure, without
  this union, they need to cast to either sockaddr_in or sockaddr_in6
  first, which is not as pretty as using a union.
  
  For example, the code in netpoll:
  
  ipv6_addr_equal(daddr, &np->local_ip.sin6.sin6_addr)
  
  without the union, it would be:
  
  struct sockaddr_in6 *addr = (struct sockaddr_in6 *) &np->local_ip;
  ipv6_addr_equal(daddr, addr->sin6_addr);

Too bad ipv6_addr_equal() doesn't take a (void *).

[Patch net-next v2 6/8] fs: use generic union inet_addr and helper functions

[Cong Wang]

From: Cong Wang <amwang@redhat.com>

nfs and cifs define some helper functions for sockaddr,
they can use the generic functions for union inet_addr too.

Since some dlm code needs to compare ->sin_port, introduce a
generic function inet_addr_equal_strict() for it.
