I take it this concern is what prevents us from simply increasing IB_UVERBS_MAX_DEVICES to 64 or something? thanks, /ac -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-rdma" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
