11 * Generic net pointers are to be used by modules to put some private
12 * stuff on the struct net without explicit struct net modification
14 * The rules are simple:
15 * 1. register the ops with register_pernet_gen_device to get the id
16 * of your private pointer;
17 * 2. call net_assign_generic() to put the private data on the struct
18 * net (most preferably this should be done in the ->init callback
19 * of the ops registered);
20 * 3. do not change this pointer while the net is alive;
21 * 4. do not try to have any private reference on the net_generic object.
23 * After accomplishing all of the above, the private pointer can be
24 * accessed with the net_generic() call.
