Vivien Didelot says: ==================== net: dsa: master and slave helpers This patch series adds a few helpers to DSA core for clarity and readability but brings no functional changes. A dsa_slave_notify helper calls the DSA notifiers when (un)registering a slave device. Most of the DSA slave code only needs to access the dsa_port structure, not the dsa_slave_priv (which only contains a few PHY-specific members). Thus a dsa_slave_to_port helper returns a dsa_port structure of a slave device. A dsa_slave_to_master returns the master device of a slave device. After that the netdev member of the dsa_port structure is split into two explicit master and slave members to avoid confusion, and a dsa_to_port helper is added for switch drivers to get a const reference to a port. Changes in v2: - prefer dsa_slave_to_master instead of dsa_slave_get_master - rename dsa_master_get_slave to dsa_master_find_slave - pack master and slave net devices into an anonymous union - add dsa_to_port public helper for switch drivers - add Reviewed-by tags from Florian ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
