Subject: [PATCH rdma-next 03/13] RDMA/core: Support renaming a device when changing its net namespace
Date: Thu, 9 Jul 2026 11:55:22 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260709095532.855647-4-jiri@resnulli.us> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260709095532.855647-1-jiri@resnulli.us>
From: Jiri Pirko <jiri@nvidia.com>
Allow namespace moves to request a destination device name. Keep requested
names on the same literal-name path as the existing RDMA rename operation,
and keep teardown fallback naming on the trusted kernel-controlled path.
Signed-off-by: Jiri Pirko <jiri@nvidia.com>
