Each family may have some amount of boilerplate locking code that applies to most, or even all, commands. This allows a family to handle such things in a more generic way, by allowing it to a) include private flags in each operation b) specify a pre_doit hook that is called, before an operation's doit() callback and may return an error directly, c) specify a post_doit hook that can undo locking or similar things done by pre_doit, and finally d) include two private pointers in each info struct passed between all these operations including doit(). (It's two because I'll need two in nl80211 -- can be extended.) Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com> Acked-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net> Signed-off-by: John W.
