If you want to implement same thing for 5+ times, yes, it has no value for you. Enjoy the following code in current tree: union nf_inet_addr; union sctp_addr; union vxlan_addr; (in my VXLAN IPv6 patches, search email archives) struct br_mdb_entry::addr; union inet_addr; (in netpoll.h) And may I tell you the last three are all from me? ;-) -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
