[net-next,0/3] net: prepare for removal of net->dev_index_head

Message

This series changes rtnl_fdb_dump, last iterator using net->dev_index_head[]

First patch creates ndo_fdb_dump_context structure, to no longer
assume specific layout for the arguments.

Second patch adopts for_each_netdev_dump() in rtnl_fdb_dump(),
while changing two first fields of ndo_fdb_dump_context.

Third patch removes the padding, thus changing the location
of ctx->fdb_idx now that all users agree on how to retrive it.

After this series, the only users of net->dev_index_head
are __dev_get_by_index() and dev_get_by_index_rcu().

We have to evaluate if switching them to dev_by_index xarray
would be sensible.

Eric Dumazet (3):
  rtnetlink: add ndo_fdb_dump_context
  rtnetlink: switch rtnl_fdb_dump() to for_each_netdev_dump()
  rtnetlink: remove pad field in ndo_fdb_dump_context
