Mark,
Thanks for the code/proposal. We also toyed with having the MAC layer pass
a dls_impl_t down and back up but we didn't like messing up the DLS/MAC
interface so much. I hope you'll like solution that Dong-Hai and I are
experimenting with, which we will post soon (I'm hoping within 24 hours).
P.S.: what's up with the sponsor stuff from my earlier emails in the thread?
> Is there a way we can formalize or presence?
I don't think it's necessary in this case to request a sponsor since
you have people in Sun that are already working on the same issue and
we'd be happy to work with you to get the code changed. The sponsor
process is basically a proxy for accessing the source code gate or
other internal resources when none of the person/persons implementing
a change are Sun employees. In this case once we agree on an approach,
someone like Dong-Hai or myself can drive the reviews and putback to
the gate and you can still be listed as one of the implementors of the
change.
For the problems you had with posting attachments via the web site,
you might want to describe them on the website-discuss list. BTW, did
you try just sending an email to the list address after you had
subscribed?
Also, you may want to check out the webrev tool (it's in the SUNWonbld
package) which is the prefered way to present a set of code changes
for review purposes. Unfortunately, it's not practical to send a
webrev as an email attachment; you pretty much have to put it on a web
server.
