[patch 11/26] IPOB: Move destructor from neigh->ops to neigh_param

From: gregkh
Date: Tue Apr 04 2006 - 20:02:50 EST


From: Michael Tsirkin <mst@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

struct neigh_ops currently has a destructor field, but not a constructor field.
The infiniband/ulp/ipoib in-tree driver stashes some info in the neighbour
structure (the results of the second-stage lookup from ARP results to real
link-level path), and it uses neigh->ops->destructor to get a callback so it can
clean up this extra info when a neighbour is freed. We've run into problems
with this: since the destructor is in an ops field that is shared between
neighbours that may belong to different net devices, there's no way to set/clear
it safely.

The following patch moves this field to neigh_parms where it can be safely set,
together with its twin neigh_setup, and switches the only two in-kernel users
(ipoib and clip) to this interface.
