Hmm... how many places can do sethostname()? Seems easier to catch in the kernel than hook every place in userspace. (Although there's no kernel hook right now) I do agree it would be good to have some idea of how we could generate the "node desc changed" trap at appropriate times. > What about other drivers? I didn't see ehca in Mike's patch.. ehca doesn't implement modify_device --> can't set node desc anyway. > I just wonder if this is a big pain to do right, what about charsets, IDN, > and ugly details like that? Does anyone expect to care about non-ASCII node descs? What can we sensibly do except take what we're given? - R. -- 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
