Subject: [PATCH rdma-next 02/13] RDMA/core: Handle device name conflicts when changing net namespace
Date: Thu, 9 Jul 2026 11:55:21 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260709095532.855647-3-jiri@resnulli.us> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260709095532.855647-1-jiri@resnulli.us>
From: Jiri Pirko <jiri@nvidia.com>
Prepare namespace moves for per-netns names. Check user-initiated moves for
destination-name conflicts before disabling the device, keep same-netns
moves as no-ops, and make teardown moves detach from the exiting namespace
even if fallback naming fails.
