I don't mean drop forever, I mean, concentrate on getting this clean
up done, then start discussing UAPI changes separately. Please don't
bury UAPI changes, new features, etc in a cleanup patch series.
Jason,
I agree. This series can be perfectly made without UAPI changes, Matan
can drop patch #8 and have user-space to just work as they did before,
for both librdmacm and libibverbs consumers.
As for the RoCE GID table itself, adding in properly net-devices in
their native Linux kernel form, namely with if_index and name-space --
seems to me the correct way to go. This for itself goes just a bit
beyond refactoring, doesn't add special complexity which wasn't there
before and has the advantage of doing things right and solid.
Or.
