Message-ID: <1285321911.2503.48.camel@edumazet-laptop>
Date: Fri, 24 Sep 2010 11:51:51 +0200
From: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@...il.com>

Subject: [PATCH net-next-2.6] net: loopback driver cleanup
loopback driver uses dev->ml_priv to store its percpu stats pointer.
It uses ugly casts "(void __percpu __force *)" to shut up sparse
complains.
Define an union to better document we use ml_priv in loopback driver and
define a lstats field with appropriate types.
