From 75ce7ceaa1221858c0163e75d19eb8a423a212ff Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Dumazet Date: Fri, 9 Feb 2007 16:14:24 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] [NET]: Introduce union in struct dst_entry to hold 'next' pointer This patch introduces an anonymous union to nicely express the fact that all objects inherited from struct dst_entry should access to the generic 'next' pointer but with appropriate type verification. This patch is a prereq before following patches. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: David S.
