Subject: [PATCH] [NET]: Move destructor from neigh->ops to neigh_params
Date: Tue, 07 Mar 2006 11:22:10 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <adaslpurrfh.fsf_-_@cisco.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20060306211630.0df79464.akpm@osdl.org> (Andrew Morton's message of "Mon, 6 Mar 2006 21:16:30 -0800")
Here's the fixed version of the original patch.
---
From: Michael S. Tsirkin <mst@mellanox.co.il>
struct neigh_ops currently has a destructor field, which no in-kernel
drivers outside of infiniband use. The infiniband/ulp/ipoib in-tree
driver stashes some info in the neighbour structure (the results of
the second-stage lookup from ARP results to real link-level path), and
it uses neigh->ops->destructor to get a callback so it can clean up
this extra info when a neighbour is freed. We've run into problems
with this: since the destructor is in an ops field that is shared
between neighbours that may belong to different net devices, there's
no way to set/clear it safely.
The following patch moves this field to neigh_parms where it can be
safely set, together with its twin neigh_setup. Two additional
patches in the patch series update ipoib to use this new interface.
