本文详细分析了Linux内核中的net_device结构体，它用于描述网络设备的主要特性，包括I/O数据、设备配置和网络功能等。通过对源代码的逐行解读，读者可以深入了解该结构体在设备驱动和网络协议栈中的作用。

摘要由CSDN通过智能技术生成

  net_device结构体，定义在include/linux/netdevice.h中，这是一个很复杂的结构体，先把代码清单列出来，再用到的过程中，逐步分析，最后来这里做个总结。 

  下面的代码是linux-2.6.38中的。 

  1 /*
  2  *    The DEVICE structure.
  3  *    Actually, this whole structure is a big mistake.  It mixes I/O
  4  *    data with strictly "high-level" data, and it has to know about
  5  *    almost every data structure used in the INET module.
  6  *
  7  *    FIXME: cleanup struct net_device such that network protocol info
  8  *    moves out.

 15      * (i.e. as seen by users in the "Space.c" file).  It is the name
 16      * of the interface.
