From 25175ba5c9bff9aaf0229df34bb5d54c81633ec3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Vlad Yasevich Date: Fri, 16 May 2014 17:04:54 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] net: Allow for more then a single subclass for netif_addr_lock Currently netif_addr_lock_nested assumes that there can be only a single nesting level between 2 devices. However, if we have multiple devices of the same type stacked, this fails. For example: eth0 <-- vlan0.10 <-- vlan0.10.20 A more complicated configuration may stack more then one type of device in different order. Ex: eth0 <-- vlan0.10 <-- macvlan0 <-- vlan1.10.20 <-- macvlan1 This patch adds an ndo_* function that allows each stackable device to report its nesting level. If the device doesn't provide this function default subclass of 1 is used. Signed-off-by: Vlad Yasevich Signed-off-by: David S. Miller --- Reading git-format-patch failed
