From f75063abc39441585a13fcc5b9ef3af993e9ac40 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Bartosz Golaszewski Date: Sat, 23 May 2020 15:27:09 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] net: devres: define a separate devres structure for devm_alloc_etherdev() Not using a proxy structure to store struct net_device doesn't save anything in terms of compiled code size or memory usage but significantly decreases the readability of the code with all the pointer casting. Define struct net_device_devres and use it in devm_alloc_etherdev_mqs(). Signed-off-by: Bartosz Golaszewski Signed-off-by: David S.
