Suppose someone loads the RDMA CM first, so it doesn't find the ipv6 functions, and then later loads and configures ipv6. You'll end up in a situation where trying to make an IPv6 connection fails spuriously. (And just the ugliness of looking up function pointers isn't very nice either) - R. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-next" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
