Use helpers to access fib_nh and fib_nhs fields of a fib_info. Drop the fib_dev macro which is an alias for the first nexthop. Replacements: fi->fib_dev --> fib_info_nh(fi, 0)->fib_nh_dev fi->fib_nh --> fib_info_nh(fi, 0) fi->fib_nh[i] --> fib_info_nh(fi, i) fi->fib_nhs --> fib_info_num_path(fi) where fib_info_nh(fi, i) returns fi->fib_nh[nhsel] and fib_info_num_path returns fi->fib_nhs. Move the existing fib_info_nhc to nexthop.h and define the new ones there. A later patch adds a check if a fib_info uses a nexthop object, and defining the helpers in nexthop.h avoid circular header dependencies. After this all remaining open coded references to fi->fib_nhs and fi->fib_nh are in: - fib_create_info and helpers used to lookup an existing fib_info entry, and - the netdev event functions fib_sync_down_dev and fib_sync_up. The latter two will not be reused for nexthops, and the fib_create_info will be updated to handle a nexthop in a fib_info. Signed-off-by: David Ahern <dsahern@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
