Subject: [PATCH] [NET]: Move destructor from neigh->ops to neigh_params

From: Roland Dreier <[email-masked]>
Date: Tue, 07 Mar 2006 11:22:10 -0800

Here's the fixed version of the original patch.

---

From: Michael S. Tsirkin <[email-masked]>

struct neigh_ops currently has a destructor field, which no in-kernel
drivers outside of infiniband use.  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.  Two additional
patches in the patch series update ipoib to use this new interface.
