OK, cool, but could I see this discussion/patch please, to understand the solution? Just googling for Frank's name only gets me something related to SIOCGIFCONF ioctl. > Franks fix is based on two points (if I understand the code with no > errors) - > > 1. It opens /proc/bus/pci...

Oh, I was under impression that we were falling back on pread/pwrite from /proc, which is not safe without locking. -- MST _______________________________________________ openib-general mailing list [email protected] http://openib.org/mailman/listinfo/openib-general To unsubscribe, please visit http://openib.org/mailman/listinfo/openib-general
