1. net_device在内核中代表一个网络设备。
网络设备驱动程序只需要填充net_device的具体成员，并注册net_device 即可实现硬件操作函数与内核的挂接。
net_device 是一个巨型结构体，包含了网络设备的属性描述和接口操作：
/*
* The DEVICE structure.
* Actually, this whole structure is a big mistake. It mixes I/O
* data with strictly "high-level" data, and it has to know about
* almost every data structure used in the INET module.
*

* moves out.

之前linux版本的net_device操作函数，直接就在net_device结构里定义，但是新的linux版本，把这些函数归纳到了 net_device_ops 中了。
/*
* This structure defines the management hooks for network devices.
* The following hooks can be defined; unless noted otherwise, they are
* optional and can be filled with a null pointer.
*
* int (*ndo_init)(struct net_device *dev);
* This function is called once when network device is registered.
* The network device can use this to any late stage initializaton
* or semantic validattion. It can fail with an error code which will
* be propogated back to register_netdev
*
* void (*ndo_uninit)(struct net_device *dev);
* This function is called when device is unregistered or when registration
* fails. It is not called if init fails.
*
* int (*ndo_open)(struct net_device *dev);
* This function is called when network device transistions to the up
* state.
*
* int (*ndo_stop)(struct net_device *dev);
* This function is called when network device transistions to the down
* state.
*
* netdev_tx_t (*ndo_start_xmit)(struct sk_buff *skb,
* struct net_device *dev);
* Called when a packet needs to be transmitted.
* Must return NETDEV_TX_OK , NETDEV_TX_BUSY.
* (can also return NETDEV_TX_LOCKED iff NETIF_F_LLTX)
* Required can not be NULL.
*
* u16 (*ndo_select_queue)(struct net_device *dev, struct sk_buff *skb);
* Called to decide which queue to when device supports multiple
* transmit queues.
*
* void (*ndo_change_rx_flags)(struct net_device *dev, int flags);
* This function is called to allow device receiver to make
* changes to configuration when multicast or promiscious is enabled.
*
* void (*ndo_set_rx_mode)(struct net_device *dev);
* This function is called device changes address list filtering.
*
* void (*ndo_set_multicast_list)(struct net_device *dev);
* This function is called when the multicast address list changes.
*
* int (*ndo_set_mac_address)(struct net_device *dev, void *addr);
* This function is called when the Media Access Control address
* needs to be changed. If this interface is not defined, the
* mac address can not be changed.
*
* int (*ndo_validate_addr)(struct net_device *dev);
* Test if Media Access Control address is valid for the device.
*
* int (*ndo_do_ioctl)(struct net_device *dev, struct ifreq *ifr, int cmd);
* Called when a user request an ioctl which can't be handled by
* the generic interface code. If not defined ioctl's return
* not supported error code.
*
* int (*ndo_set_config)(struct net_device *dev, struct ifmap *map);
* Used to set network devices bus interface parameters. This interface
* is retained for legacy reason, new devices should use the bus
* interface (PCI) for low level management.
*
* int (*ndo_change_mtu)(struct net_device *dev, int new_mtu);
* Called when a user wants to change the Maximum Transfer Unit
* of a device. If not defined, any request to change MTU will
* will return an error.
*
* void (*ndo_tx_timeout)(struct net_device *dev);
* Callback uses when the transmitter has not made any progress
* for dev->watchdog ticks.
*
* struct rtnl_link_stats64* (*ndo_get_stats64)(struct net_device *dev,
* struct rtnl_link_stats64 *storage);
* struct net_device_stats* (*ndo_get_stats)(struct net_device *dev);
* Called when a user wants to get the network device usage
* statistics. Drivers must do one of the following:
* 1. Define @ndo_get_stats64 to fill in a zero-initialised
* rtnl_link_stats64 structure passed by the caller.
* 2. Define @ndo_get_stats to update a net_device_stats structure
* (which should normally be dev->stats) and return a pointer to
* it. The structure may be changed asynchronously only if each
* field is written atomically.
* 3. Update dev->stats asynchronously and atomically, and define
* neither operation.
*
* void (*ndo_vlan_rx_register)(struct net_device *dev, struct vlan_group *grp);
* If device support VLAN receive accleration
* (ie. dev->features & NETIF_F_HW_VLAN_RX), then this function is called
* when vlan groups for the device changes. Note: grp is NULL
* if no vlan's groups are being used.
*
* void (*ndo_vlan_rx_add_vid)(struct net_device *dev, unsigned short vid);
* If device support VLAN filtering (dev->features & NETIF_F_HW_VLAN_FILTER)
* this function is called when a VLAN id is registered.
*
* void (*ndo_vlan_rx_kill_vid)(struct net_device *dev, unsigned short vid);
* If device support VLAN filtering (dev->features & NETIF_F_HW_VLAN_FILTER)
* this function is called when a VLAN id is unregistered.
*
* void (*ndo_poll_controller)(struct net_device *dev);
*
* SR-IOV management functions.
* int (*ndo_set_vf_mac)(struct net_device *dev, int vf, u8* mac);
