If you remember Rusty's guide to interfaces, this is a level 14 easy to misuse interface: "The obvious use is wrong"; since the obvious use is to put it in module parameters and have the problem go away (for now ...). Actually, I could be harsher and say it's level 17 "There's no correct use" because statistically every time you use it, you expose yourself to potential duplicate WWNs.
Now that you have said "there's no correct use" you have managed to logic yourself into silly-land.
That is utterly specious logic when duplicate WWNs are quite unlikely, and furthermore -- as demonstrated by use in network drivers -- use of the feature itself is not the common case.
Field experience directly contradicts this entire line of reasoning. Jeff - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-scsi" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
