From ffd956eef69b212a724b1cc4cdc61828f3ad9104 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Marc Kleine-Budde Date: Mon, 8 Oct 2018 09:02:38 +0200 Subject: can: introduce CAN midlayer private and allocate it automatically This patch introduces the CAN midlayer private structure ("struct can_ml_priv") which should be used to hold protocol specific per device data structures. For now it's only member is "struct can_dev_rcv_lists". The CAN midlayer private is allocated via alloc_netdev()'s private and assigned to "struct net_device::ml_priv" during device creation. This is done transparently for CAN drivers using alloc_candev(). The slcan, vcan and vxcan drivers which are not using alloc_candev() have been adopted manually. The memory layout of the netdev_priv allocated via alloc_candev() will looke like this: +-------------------------+ | driver's priv | +-------------------------+ | struct can_ml_priv | +-------------------------+ | array of struct sk_buff | +-------------------------+ Signed-off-by: Oleksij Rempel Signed-off-by: Oliver Hartkopp Signed-off-by: Marc Kleine-Budde --- net/can/af_can.c | 1 + 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+) (limited to 'net/can/af_can.c') diff --git a/net/can/af_can.c b/net/can/af_can.c index d65b19003a24..723299daa04e 100644 --- a/net/can/af_can.c +++ b/net/can/af_can.c @@ -58,6 +58,7 @@ #include #include #include +#include #include #include #include -- cgit v1.2.3
