Do you mean adding this to ib_core? I'm not sure we want to autoload ib_core whenever the userspace asks for "socket(PF_NETLINK, SOCK_RAW, NETLINK_INFINIBAND)" What's wrong with receiving a "protocol not supported" error? If ib_core is not loaded then there's no data anyway. Am I missing other possible effects of MODULE_ALIAS here? This would make more sense if ib_netlink was in a separate module. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-rdma" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
