The associated netdev should not actually be very dynamic, so for most drivers there is no reason for a callback like this. Provide an API to inform the core code about the net dev affiliation and use a core maintained data structure instead. This allows the core code to be more aware of the ndev relationship which will allow some new APIs based around this. This also uses locking that makes some kind of sense, many drivers had a confusing RCU lock, or missing locking which isn't right. Signed-off-by: Jason Gunthorpe <jgg@mellanox.com>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
