This is precursor to fixing "[id - 1]" bloat inside net_generic(). Name "s" is chosen to complement name "u" often used for dummy unions. Signed-off-by: Alexey Dobriyan <adobriyan@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

/*
|
|
* Generic net pointers are to be used by modules to put some private
|
|
* stuff on the struct net without explicit struct net modification
|
|
*
|
|
* The rules are simple:
|
|
* 1. set pernet_operations->id. After register_pernet_device you
|
|
* will have the id of your private pointer.
|
|
* 2. set pernet_operations->size to have the code allocate and free
|
|
* a private structure pointed to from struct net.
|
|
* 3. do not change this pointer while the net is alive;
|
|
* 4. do not try to have any private reference on the net_generic object.
|
|
*
|
|
* After accomplishing all of the above, the private pointer can be
|
|
* accessed with the net_generic() call.
