This series changes rtnl_fdb_dump, last iterator using net->dev_index_head[] First patch creates ndo_fdb_dump_context structure, to no longer assume specific layout for the arguments. Second patch adopts for_each_netdev_dump() in rtnl_fdb_dump(), while changing two first fields of ndo_fdb_dump_context. Third patch removes the padding, thus changing the location of ctx->fdb_idx now that all users agree on how to retrive it. After this series, the only users of net->dev_index_head are __dev_get_by_index() and dev_get_by_index_rcu(). We have to evaluate if switching them to dev_by_index xarray would be sensible. v2: addressed Ido feedback v1: https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20241207162248.18536-1-edumazet@google.com/T/#m800755d4b16c7f335927a76d9f52ebd37f7f077c (local) Eric Dumazet (3): rtnetlink: add ndo_fdb_dump_context rtnetlink: switch rtnl_fdb_dump() to for_each_netdev_dump() rtnetlink: remove pad field in ndo_fdb_dump_context .../ethernet/freescale/dpaa2/dpaa2-switch.c | 3 +- drivers/net/ethernet/mscc/ocelot_net.c | 3 +- drivers/net/vxlan/vxlan_core.c | 5 +- include/linux/rtnetlink.h | 6 + net/bridge/br_fdb.c | 3 +- net/core/rtnetlink.c | 108 +++++++----------- net/dsa/user.c | 3 +- 7 files changed, 61 insertions(+), 70 deletions(-) -- 2.47.0.338.g60cca15819-goog
