No if/else needed. No cast of void * ptr need. Use const if possible?
so much of the stack does not use const and trying to add it for this API does not work -- the upper or lower device is passed to the callbacks and those callbacks invoke other apis. e.g., the bond patch calls vlan_get_encap_level, bond_verify_device_path and bond_confirm_addr and none of those accept a const dev. v3 coming up with the more succinct versions, but const is not possible. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-rdma" in the body of a message to majordomo-u79uwXL29TY76Z2rM5mHXA@public.gmane.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
