Tell you what -- if you can get consensus from netdev about adding rdma connection stats to /proc/net then I withdraw my objection. But I really thing everyone is going to agree that adding more proc files is not a good idea. > Also keep in mind, patching things like lsof and netstat to use > proc/net files is alot simpler than trying to work netlink into those > programs for the first time.. OK but eg ifconfig already doesn't work for IPoIB -- and the answer is "just use ip instead if you care". - R. _______________________________________________ general mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openfabrics.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/general To unsubscribe, please visit http://openib.org/mailman/listinfo/openib-general
