From 8c713dc93ca9a423d6af8849c9254742a1070c37 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Johannes Berg Date: Sat, 12 Jun 2021 10:20:54 +0200 Subject: rtnetlink: add alloc() method to rtnl_link_ops In order to make rtnetlink ops that can create different kinds of devices, like what we want to add to the WWAN framework, the priv_size and setup parameters aren't quite sufficient. Make this easier to manage by allowing ops to allocate their own netdev via an @alloc method that gets the tb netlink data.
