Subject: [PATCH rdma-next v2 10/14] RDMA/core: Document the SELinux ibendport net namespace limitation
Date: Tue, 14 Jul 2026 16:29:23 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260714142927.1298897-11-jiri@resnulli.us> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260714142927.1298897-1-jiri@resnulli.us>

From: Jiri Pirko <jiri@nvidia.com>

Document that SELinux ibendport labels use a global (device name, port)
key, so same-named RDMA devices in different net namespaces share a label.
