Eric Dumazet says: ==================== net: prepare for removal of net->dev_index_head This series changes rtnl_fdb_dump, last iterator using net->dev_index_head[] First patch creates ndo_fdb_dump_context structure, to no longer assume specific layout for the arguments. Second patch adopts for_each_netdev_dump() in rtnl_fdb_dump(), while changing two first fields of ndo_fdb_dump_context. Third patch removes the padding, thus changing the location of ctx->fdb_idx now that all users agree on how to retrive it. After this series, the only users of net->dev_index_head are __dev_get_by_index() and dev_get_by_index_rcu(). We have to evaluate if switching them to dev_by_index xarray would be sensible. v1: https://lore.kernel.org/20241207162248.18536-1-edumazet@google.com/T/#m800755d4b16c7f335927a76d9f52ebd37f7f077c ==================== Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20241209100747.2269613-1-edumazet@google.com Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
