We have to have a prepare/commit sequence where the prepare part can see the whole of the request. It must know the full set of changes it must be able to support in one go in order to signal a failure properly. So in fact this is the most convenient way for the drivers to be exposed to this issue. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
