I get your point :-) I'd like to suggest we put these in different threads: 1. bitmask reform 2. ulp check mechanism 3. naming (i think it'll be a really big discussion :-P) Separate them can help us focus on a particular topic at once, and the purpose of patches will be more clear ;-) Regards, Michael Wang > > JAson > -- 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
