Subject: [PATCH 13/18] netdevice wanrouter: Convert directly reference of netdev->priv to netdev->ml_priv
Date: Fri, 05 Sep 2008 11:25:47 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <48C0A6BB.4050608@cn.fujitsu.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <48C0A219.2030004@cn.fujitsu.com>
We have some reasons to kill netdev->priv:
1. netdev->priv is equal to netdev_priv().
2. netdev_priv() wraps the calculation of netdev->priv's offset, obviously
netdev_priv() is more flexible than netdev->priv.
But we cann't kill netdev->priv, because so many drivers reference to it
directly.
OK, becasue Dave S. Miller said, "every direct netdev->priv usage is a bug",
and I want to kill netdev->priv later, I decided to convert all the direct
reference of netdev->priv first.
Different to readonly reference of netdev->priv, in this driver, netdev->priv
was changed. I use netdev->ml_priv to replace netdev->priv.
