No that all of the callers have been updated to set fields in struct pernet_operations, and simplified to let the network namespace core handle the allocation and freeing of the storage for them, remove the surpurpflous methods and update the docs to the new style.

/*
|
|
* Generic net pointers are to be used by modules to put some private
|
|
* stuff on the struct net without explicit struct net modification
|
|
*
|
|
* The rules are simple:
|
|
* 1. set pernet_operations->id. After register_pernet_device you
|
|
* will have the id of your private pointer.
|
|
* 2. Either set pernet_operations->size (to have the code allocate and
|
|
* free a private structure pointed to from struct net ) or
|
|
* call net_assign_generic() to put the private data on the struct
|
|
* net (most preferably this should be done in the ->init callback
|
|
* of the ops registered);
|
|
* 3. do not change this pointer while the net is alive;
|
|
* 4. do not try to have any private reference on the net_generic object.
|
|
*
|
|
* After accomplishing all of the above, the private pointer can be
|
|
* accessed with the net_generic() call.
