• a0a53c8ba   [NETNS]: struct net content re-work (v3) ... Browse Code »

  Recently David Miller and Herbert Xu pointed out that struct net becomes
  overbloated and un-maintainable. There are two solutions:
  - provide a pointer to a network subsystem definition from struct net.
  This costs an additional dereferrence
  - place sub-system definition into the structure itself. This will speedup
  run-time access at the cost of recompilation time

  The second approach looks better for us. Other sub-systems will follow.
