I don't feel this is an improvement as presented, will need more work to make code placement more logical. For example where do I find code to update rq stats? Rx data path should be virtnet.c? No it's in virtnet_ethtool.c because rq stats can be accessed by ethtool. A bunch of stuff seems to be in headers just because of technicalities. virtio common seems to be a dumping ground with no guiding principle at all. drivers/net/virtio/virtnet_virtio.c is weird with virt repeated three times in the path. These things only get murkier with time, at the point of reorg I would expect very logical placement, since without clear guiding rule finding where something is becomes harder but more importantly we'll now get endless heartburn about where does each new function go. The reorg is unfortunately not free - for example git log --follow will no longer easily match virtio because --follow works with exactly one path. It's now also extra work to keep headers self-consistent. So it better be a big improvement to be worth it. > Xuan Zhuo (16): > virtio_net: add a separate directory for virtio-net > virtio_net: move struct to header file > virtio_net: add prefix to the struct inside header file > virtio_net: separating cpu-related funs > virtio_net: separate virtnet_ctrl_set_queues() > virtio_net: separate virtnet_ctrl_set_mac_address() > virtio_net: remove lock from virtnet_ack_link_announce() > virtio_net: separating the APIs of cq > virtio_net: introduce virtnet_rq_update_stats() > virtio_net: separating the funcs of ethtool > virtio_net: introduce virtnet_dev_rx_queue_group() > virtio_net: introduce virtnet_get_netdev() > virtio_net: prepare for virtio > virtio_net: move virtnet_[en/dis]able_delayed_refill to header file > virtio_net: add APIs to register/unregister virtio driver > virtio_net: separating the virtio code > > MAINTAINERS | 2 +- > drivers/net/Kconfig | 8 +- > drivers/net/Makefile | 2 +- > drivers/net/virtio/Kconfig | 11 + > drivers/net/virtio/Makefile | 10 + > .../net/{virtio_net.c => virtio/virtnet.c} | 2368 ++--------------- > drivers/net/virtio/virtnet.h | 213 ++ > drivers/net/virtio/virtnet_common.c | 138 + > drivers/net/virtio/virtnet_common.h | 14 + > drivers/net/virtio/virtnet_ctrl.c | 272 ++ > drivers/net/virtio/virtnet_ctrl.h | 45 + > drivers/net/virtio/virtnet_ethtool.c | 578 ++++ > drivers/net/virtio/virtnet_ethtool.h | 8 + > drivers/net/virtio/virtnet_virtio.c | 880 ++++++ > drivers/net/virtio/virtnet_virtio.h | 8 + > 15 files changed, 2366 insertions(+), 2191 deletions(-) > create mode 100644 drivers/net/virtio/Kconfig > create mode 100644 drivers/net/virtio/Makefile > rename drivers/net/{virtio_net.c => virtio/virtnet.c} (50%) > create mode 100644 drivers/net/virtio/virtnet.h > create mode 100644 drivers/net/virtio/virtnet_common.c > create mode 100644 drivers/net/virtio/virtnet_common.h > create mode 100644 drivers/net/virtio/virtnet_ctrl.c > create mode 100644 drivers/net/virtio/virtnet_ctrl.h > create mode 100644 drivers/net/virtio/virtnet_ethtool.c > create mode 100644 drivers/net/virtio/virtnet_ethtool.h > create mode 100644 drivers/net/virtio/virtnet_virtio.c > create mode 100644 drivers/net/virtio/virtnet_virtio.h > > -- > 2.32.0.3.g01195cf9f _______________________________________________ Virtualization mailing list Virtualization@lists.linux-foundation.org https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/virtualization
