13 * Generic net pointers are to be used by modules to put some private
14 * stuff on the struct net without explicit struct net modification
16 * The rules are simple:
17 * 1. set pernet_operations->id. After register_pernet_device you
18 * will have the id of your private pointer.
19 * 2. set pernet_operations->size to have the code allocate and free
20 * a private structure pointed to from struct net.
21 * 3. do not change this pointer while the net is alive;
22 * 4. do not try to have any private reference on the net_generic object.
24 * After accomplishing all of the above, the private pointer can be
25 * accessed with the net_generic() call.
