12 * Generic net pointers are to be used by modules to put some private
13 * stuff on the struct net without explicit struct net modification
14 *
15 * The rules are simple:

EB
16 * 1. set pernet_operations->id. After register_pernet_device you
17 * will have the id of your private pointer.
05fceb4a
JP
18 * 2. set pernet_operations->size to have the code allocate and free
19 * a private structure pointed to from struct net.
dec827d1
PE
20 * 3. do not change this pointer while the net is alive;
21 * 4. do not try to have any private reference on the net_generic object.
22 *
23 * After accomplishing all of the above, the private pointer can be
24 * accessed with the net_generic() call.
