From b0ab2fabb5b91da99c189db02e91ae10bc8355c5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jiri Pirko Date: Thu, 26 Jun 2014 09:58:25 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] rtnetlink: allow to register ops without ops->setup set So far, it is assumed that ops->setup is filled up. But there might be case that ops might make sense even without ->setup. In that case, forbid to newlink and dellink. This allows to register simple rtnl link ops containing only ->kind. That allows consistent way of passing device kind (either device-kind or slave-kind) to userspace. Signed-off-by: Jiri Pirko Signed-off-by: David S.
