Subject: [PATCH net-next-2.6] net: use helpers to access mc list
Date: Tue, 26 Jan 2010 15:57:39 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20100126145738.GA2537@psychotron.lab.eng.brq.redhat.com> (raw)

This patch introduces the similar helpers as those already done for uc list.
However multicast lists are no list_head lists but "mademanually". The three
macros added by this patch will make the transition of mc_list to list_head
smooth.

>From now on, drivers can (and should) use "netdev_for_each_mc_addr" to iterate
over the addresses with iterator of type "struct netdev_hw_addr". Also macros
"netdev_mc_count" and "netdev_mc_empty" to read list's length. This is the state
which should be reached in all drivers.

Temporary macro "netdev_for_each_mc_addr" works in the ugly way, I'm aware, but
it will be replaced. It uses iterator stored in "struct net_device". In every
iteration, it copies addr from the list to "struct netdev_hw_addr" instance
(also stored in "struct net_device"). Driver reads address stored in this
structure. All is protected by addr_list_lock held by a caller.
