Subject: [PATCH 1/2] net: arp: collect context into new struct pending_arp
Date: Thu, 27 Nov 2025 13:38:37 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251127123841.2225218-1-a.fatoum@pengutronix.de> (raw)

The ARP code employs two global variables to communicate between the
code sending off the ARP request and the response that runs in the
poller:

- arp_wait_ip, which is the IP to be resolved
- arp_ether, which on success will point to the resulting MAC address

To make the relation between these two clearer and to prepare for the
follow-up fix, collect them into a common struct.
