In much of the network stack the use of struct sockaddr_storage has been adopted. Continue the transition toward this for more of the internal APIs. Specifically: - inet_addr_is_any() - netif_set_mac_address() - dev_set_mac_address() - dev_set_mac_address_user() Only a few callers of dev_set_mac_address() needed adjustment; all others were already using struct sockaddr_storage internally. v1: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20250520222452.work.063-kees@kernel.org/ ==================== Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20250521204310.it.500-kees@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Paolo Abeni --- 358bea91ce6b4f02e5df0143382c96d7083504bc
