Hi, Al: I did reply to the original thread: ------------------- > And that's not a supported use case. > Understood, and that is the reason for the simple patch :-) User-space networking stacks exist for several reasons, e.g., for migrating from micro-kernel based systems, or for avoiding large changes to the networking stack in the kernel. ------------------ Let me clarify a bit more: FUSE, being a file system, should be able to support the same flag setting as in the kernel. The patch facilitates that by passing the flags to the vfs. Does this help? Thanks. -- Enke On 5/25/16 12:52 PM, Al Viro wrote: > On Wed, May 25, 2016 at 12:03:23PM -0700, Enke Chen wrote: >> Hi, Folks: >> >> Could you accept this patch submitted on May 5, 2016? > > Not until you've addressed the objections in the original thread. > And no, "we have an application that wants it" does not qualify. > > NAKed-by: Al Viro <viro@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> > -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-fsdevel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
