Subject: net: loopback driver cleanup
X-Git-Tag: MMI-PSA29.97-13-9~21994^2~351
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=a7855c78a24d6348e989bec616318e68c662e78b;p=GitHub%2FMotorolaMobilityLLC%2Fkernel-slsi.git

net: loopback driver cleanup

loopback driver uses dev->ml_priv to store its percpu stats pointer.
It uses ugly casts "(void __percpu __force *)" to shut up sparse
complains.

Define an union to better document we use ml_priv in loopback driver and
define a lstats field with appropriate types.
