The following patch set is a preparation to addition of netlink handlers to support RDMA tool. It simplifies the code, removes useless client infrastructure, concentrates netlink validity checks and allows future patches to remove a lot of dead code from iwcm* code base (all operations related to nl_clients). It is based on already sent to the mailing list patch [1] "Revert "IB/core: Add flow control to the portmapper netlink calls"" [1] https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/9752865/ Available in the "topic/rdmatool-rfc-v1" topic branch of this git repo: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/leon/linux-rdma.git Or for browsing: https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/leon/linux-rdma.git/log/?h=topic/rdmatool-rfc-v1 Leon Romanovsky (5): RDMA/netlink: Remove netlink clients infrastructure RDMA/netlink: Remove redundant owner option for netlink callbacks RDMA/netlink: Avoid double pass for RDMA netlink messages RDMA/iwcm: Remove useless check of nelink client validity RDMA/iwcm: Remove extra EXPORT_SYMBOLS drivers/infiniband/core/cma.c | 9 +- drivers/infiniband/core/device.c | 41 ++---- drivers/infiniband/core/iwcm.c | 10 +- drivers/infiniband/core/iwpm_msg.c | 12 -- drivers/infiniband/core/iwpm_util.c | 11 -- drivers/infiniband/core/netlink.c | 248 +++++++++++++++++++----------------- include/rdma/rdma_netlink.h | 18 +-- 7 files changed, 151 insertions(+), 198 deletions(-) -- 2.12.2 -- 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
