157 * These functions work primarily with two different kinds of data structures:
159 * - "struct netdev", which represents a network device.
161 * - "struct netdev_rxq", which represents a handle for capturing packets
162 * received on a network device
164 * Each of these data structures contains all of the implementation-independent
165 * generic state for the respective concept, called the "base" state. None of
166 * them contains any extra space for implementations to use. Instead, each
167 * implementation is expected to declare its own data structure that contains
168 * an instance of the generic data structure plus additional
169 * implementation-specific members, called the "derived" state. The
170 * implementation can use casts or (preferably) the CONTAINER_OF macro to
171 * obtain access to derived state given only a pointer to the embedded generic
178 * Four stylized functions accompany each of these data structures:
180 * "alloc" "construct" "destruct" "dealloc"
181 * ------------ ---------------- --------------- --------------
182 * netdev ->alloc ->construct ->destruct ->dealloc
183 * netdev_rxq ->rxq_alloc ->rxq_construct ->rxq_destruct ->rxq_dealloc
185 * Any instance of a given data structure goes through the following life
188 * 1. The client calls the "alloc" function to obtain raw memory. If "alloc"
189 * fails, skip all the other steps.
191 * 2. The client initializes all of the data structure's base state. If this
192 * fails, skip to step 7.
194 * 3. The client calls the "construct" function. The implementation
195 * initializes derived state. It may refer to the already-initialized
196 * base state. If "construct" fails, skip to step 6.
198 * 4. The data structure is now initialized and in use.
200 * 5. When the data structure is no longer needed, the client calls the
201 * "destruct" function. The implementation uninitializes derived state.
202 * The base state has not been uninitialized yet, so the implementation
203 * may still refer to it.
205 * 6. The client uninitializes all of the data structure's base state.
207 * 7. The client calls the "dealloc" to free the raw memory. The
208 * implementation must not refer to base or derived state in the data
209 * structure, because it has already been uninitialized.
211 * If netdev support multi-queue IO then netdev->construct should set initialize
212 * netdev->n_rxq to number of queues.
214 * Each "alloc" function allocates and returns a new instance of the respective
215 * data structure. The "alloc" function is not given any information about the
216 * use of the new data structure, so it cannot perform much initialization.
217 * Its purpose is just to ensure that the new data structure has enough room
218 * for base and derived state. It may return a null pointer if memory is not
219 * available, in which case none of the other functions is called.
221 * Each "construct" function initializes derived state in its respective data
222 * structure. When "construct" is called, all of the base state has already
223 * been initialized, so the "construct" function may refer to it. The
224 * "construct" function is allowed to fail, in which case the client calls the
225 * "dealloc" function (but not the "destruct" function).
227 * Each "destruct" function uninitializes and frees derived state in its
228 * respective data structure. When "destruct" is called, the base state has
229 * not yet been uninitialized, so the "destruct" function may refer to it. The
230 * "destruct" function is not allowed to fail.
232 * Each "dealloc" function frees raw memory that was allocated by the
233 * "alloc" function. The memory's base and derived members might not have ever
234 * been initialized (but if "construct" returned successfully, then it has been
235 * "destruct"ed already). The "dealloc" function is not allowed to fail.
238 * Device Change Notification
239 * ==========================
241 * Minimally, implementations are required to report changes to netdev flags,
242 * features, ethernet address or carrier through connectivity_seq. Changes to
243 * other properties are allowed to cause notification through this interface,
244 * although implementations should try to avoid this. connectivity_seq_get()
