[PATCH v2 net-next 0/6] net: switchdev: use specific switchdev_obj_*

From: Vivien Didelot
Date: Tue Sep 29 2015 - 12:08:06 EST


This patchset changes switchdev add, del, dump operations from this:

int (*switchdev_port_obj_add)(struct net_device *dev,
struct switchdev_obj *obj,
struct switchdev_trans *trans);
int (*switchdev_port_obj_del)(struct net_device *dev,
struct switchdev_obj *obj);
int (*switchdev_port_obj_dump)(struct net_device *dev,
struct switchdev_obj *obj);

to something similar to the notifier_call callback of a notifier_block:

int (*switchdev_port_obj_add)(struct net_device *dev,
enum switchdev_obj_id id,
const void *obj,
struct switchdev_trans *trans);
int (*switchdev_port_obj_del)(struct net_device *dev,
enum switchdev_obj_id id,
const void *obj);
int (*switchdev_port_obj_dump)(struct net_device *dev,
enum switchdev_obj_id id, void *obj,
int (*cb)(void *obj));

This allows the caller to pass and expect back a specific switchdev_obj_*
structure (e.g. switchdev_obj_fdb) instead of the generic switchdev_obj one.

This will simplify pushing the callback function down to the drivers.

The first 3 patches get rid of the dev parameter of the dump callback, since it
is not always neeeded (e.g. vlan_dump) and some drivers (such as DSA drivers)
may not have easy access to it.

Patches 4 and 5 implement the change in the switchdev operations and its users.

Patch 6 extracts the inner switchdev_obj_* structures from switchdev_obj and
removes this last one.

v2: fix error spotted by kbuild (extra ';' inline switchdev_port_obj_dump).

Vivien Didelot (6):
net: switchdev: remove dev in port_vlan_dump_put
net: switchdev: move dev in switchdev_fdb_dump
net: switchdev: remove dev from switchdev_obj cb
net: switchdev: pass callback to dump operation
net: switchdev: abstract object in add/del ops
net: switchdev: extract struct switchdev_obj_*
