Fair enough, let's go with that. > Right now, I'm really unclear on what sort of changes you want to see > here as a final patchset. What would make this mergeable for you? Sorry for the ambiguity. For the re-roll: - 1, 2, 3 and 5 don't need change. - Let's drop patch 4/8. - Make registration failure non-fatal for NFSv2 and NFSv3, as proposed. - Extend the extack in 6/8 to report a listener that came up without registering. dmesg is the only channel write_ports() has. Perhaps the netlink path can do better? - Fix the netns leak in 8/8. - Ensure that any test that asserts the unwind or the abort is moved over to the new failure policy. HTH. -- Chuck Lever
