Package: udev
Version: 0.070-2
Severity: wishlist
*** Please type your report below this line ***
Please change the udev rules for ucm and uverbs to add a group:
KERNEL="uverbs*", NAME="infiniband/%k", MODE="0660", GROUP="rdma"
KERNEL="ucm*", NAME="infiniband/%k", MODE="0660", GROUP="rdma"
As you can see, I am suggesting that these nodes be owned by an "rdma"
group. This is analogous to other groups used for device nodes, such
as "dialout" or "cdrom" -- the uverbs/ucm devices are fairly safe to
allow ordinary users access to, but an administrator should be able to
control which users can use the device. In any case root privileges
shouldn't be required to use them.
I suggest the name "rdma" for the group name because these device
nodes give userspace programs access to RDMA capabilities from
InfiniBand and (someday) iWARP hardware.
Of course, this requires the creation of the rdma group. I'm not sure
where or how this sort of group is managed, so please let me know if
there's any other avenues I should be sending this request to.
