[openib-general] [PATCH RFC 2/31] net: Implement a place holder network namespace

[Eric W. Biederman]

From: Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm at xmission.com> - unquoted

Many of the changes to the network stack will simply be adding a
network namespace parameter to function calls or moving variables
from globals to being per network namespace.  When those variables
have initializers that cannot statically compute the proper value,
a function that runs at the creation and destruction of network
namespaces will need to be registered, and the logic will need to
be changed to accomidate that.

Adding unconditional support for these functions ensures that even when
everything else is compiled out the modified network stack logic will
continue to run correctly.

This patch adds struct pernet_operations that has an init (constructor)
and an exit (destructor) method.  When registered the init method
is called for every existing namespace, and when unregistered the
exit method is called for every existing namespace.  When a new
network namespace is created all of the init methods are called
in the order in which they were registered, and when a network namespace
is destroyed the exit methods are called in the reverse order in
which they were registered.

There are two distinct types of pernet_operations recognized: subsys and
device.  At creation all subsys init functions are called before device
init functions, and at destruction all device exit functions are called
before subsys exit function.  For other ordering the preservation
of the order of registration combined with the various kinds of
kernel initcalls should be sufficient.
