It's a user experience nightmare when the kernel inserts and deletes filtering rules outside of what the user configures on their system. This approach was also considerd for ipv6 ILA, and the same pushback was given. Why not add support for these new options as a normal TCP socket option based feature? Then normal userspace as well as the SMC stack can make use of it. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-s390" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
