I honestly don't know which one is easier. We also have to keep the
memory constraints in mind. So for how many BD_ADDR does the kernel
needs to store the flag name resolved already yes/no? With system that
are running for years, this can get pretty big.

My current take on this (which is not final) is that after inquiry
complete, the kernel needs to ask userspace to confirm which names to
resolve. It is an action triggered by the kernel and userspace just
responds with the result to. So the kernel has full control here.


Can we assume that user space will always reply? Or how long should kernel wait for confirmation from user space, before ending discovery procedure and sending Discovering=0 event?
