From 792d1932e319ff8ba01361e7d151b1794c55c31f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tom Tucker Date: Sun, 30 Jul 2006 20:43:26 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] [NET]: Network Event Notifier Mechanism. This patch uses notifier blocks to implement a network event notifier mechanism. Clients register their callback function by calling register_netevent_notifier() like this: static struct notifier_block nb = { .notifier_call = my_callback_func }; ... register_netevent_notifier(&nb); Signed-off-by: Tom Tucker Signed-off-by: Steve Wise Signed-off-by: David S.
