I've already taken the time to send out a patch to address the regression for v4.6-rc. If there is a problem with that patch he should comment with the specifics of the issue he found, and not revert for v4.6 and do his own thing for v4.7. > > > The whole point of the alloc_session callback is so that extra > > pre-allocation doesn't happen until after se_node_acl lookup has > > finished, and is what ib_srpt needs to be using given SRP's completely > > existent spec level security model. > > Your original patch didn't use the alloc_session callback either, > so I don't really see the fuzz here.

It's nice that Bart has decided to wake up after 5 years of inactivity while I've been maintaining ib_srpt during that time. I'll let the failed attempt at high-jacking the upstream target drivers be water under the bridge, but if he continues to ignore feedback and constantly mix-up unrelated issues at every opportunity like with the TMR stuff, plus ib_srpt patches never make it on target-devel, don't expect me to be in a particularly friendly mood. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-rdma" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
