[PATCH v2 2/6] mdev: Make mdev alias unique among all mdevs

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Mdev alias should be unique among all the mdevs, so that when such alias
is used by the mdev users to derive other objects, there is no
collision in a given system.

Changelog:
v1->v2:
 - Moved alias NULL check at beginning
v0->v1:
 - Fixed inclusiong of alias for NULL check
 - Added ratelimited debug print for sha1 hash collision error
