Subject: [PATCH 0/2] ppp: add netlink support
Date: Wed, 23 Dec 2015 21:04:46 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <cover.1450900138.git.g.nault@alphalink.fr> (raw)

This series adds netlink support for creating PPP devices.

It doesn't implement any PPP specific attribute beyond IFLA_PPP_DEV_FD,
which is necessary in the PPP device model for passing control plane
packets to user space.

Guillaume Nault (2):
  ppp: define reusable device creation functions
  ppp: implement rtnetlink device handling
