Exactly, this is why it is posted on the open mailing list where everyone has stage to express their opinion, including these mysterious hardware architecture who cares about future design, but doesn't care about its future support. The intension for submitted new uAPI to be generic from the beginning and authors are always open to adjust it to answer reviews feedback. --AHVSF3we4xtO5oi5 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: Digital signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1 iQIcBAEBAgAGBQJXMWZjAAoJEORje4g2clindNEP/jxFo+saRHU2RjJSk6YJFF1i Ip3SlZIB6cx0c4J77SfZvW1Mhg9e+2EOWxeae74oeFBu0/nUK3iK5SYPS9uXeW3P RY06/D2wTY9YUMv8fc/k+gIQfCw60GM74XJ0KRvcQ7rHuUZLxspTHEztVS/NaTw2 7WYyZ2Lj4AnPqhr5VtrrIzxiCHrYyentK0Ix40acrf/XpdeOLixjOR43gU4+BfY0 DOs4MO9NA1l6z0v/6k5DgzvkWGzkjKonoweAVwEbhm7W7yvFGp3ekmNlZj4zSvpB sHvCFfqAyUmtYZ+VxiZOb+PLChjegCSaF+1W0tVnJnT97r7FBQPrMItYwCDbUwsS fUGFJCsft/p4p+NyN0ceeKiCdp6qWHlZpOeJ8EvFDm/bHqF60DYwqc/3ORanMTaZ Nnzo4Fv/RVLOkLzgx89DTzVwODn1jiz4CzvTu6yTLhztRc9e3uzRaagAxZE70ih/ LXPp/5uAl+ybG4yaNQw0Jh9r9IHi9FkIN4WXnpCswluItjlG13pxzVVPsK1wOnYq ZaprSHscwBFvBXtfuIujP1xPIcG286+IbudVtKkoZ53vpzjRoSpJNodmTRF/47Bc F0XSoqQOrc/hp/mF5Me3pck0VSqPFdqu2sahb/nNscawdaS04Hq3qXegEgrKEMb6 eXP4ELus0HM1/xQ74YI1 =JnzE -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --AHVSF3we4xtO5oi5-- -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-rdma" in the body of a message to majordomo-u79uwXL29TY76Z2rM5mHXA@public.gmane.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
