No but users should be free to name their devices how they want should they
not?
Isn't that exactly why PSM is broken?
These days I can do
$ rdma link add hfi1_0 type siw netdev eth0
and PSM will become very confused.
This is why keying off the device name was *never* OK.
Why isn't psm keying off it's own chardev anyhow? There should be back
links to the RDMA device in sysfs from there.
No arguments here. No sense in going down this road though at this point in
the game.
I'm not sure what these means? Are you saying you won't be fixing PSM? Why?
It's not worth going through the same to have a cdev or not argument
over again.
