Re: [Tipc-discussion] Problem with TIPC_SET_MAX_PORTS?

[Jon M. <jon...@er...>]

It works, but I never did it with running traffic. The prerequisite
is that all traffic is stopped before this can be done (this is the
only ioctl() that has that prerequisite).  It may be a good idea to
get hold of the user counter and check that it is zero before the
operation is permitted, though.  This was easy in 2.4, but I guess
there is a similar way to do it in 2.6 ?
 I will have a look at it.

Has anyone tried using the new ioctl() function TIPC_SET_MAX_PORTS to
see if it actually works?  I ask this because it doesn't seem like a
great idea to be calling stop_node() in the middle of a socket-oriented
routine, since stop_node() shuts down TIPC's socket API via sock_stop().
 
Just curious ...
