In nv_registry_alloc_handle there is a check for self->name_map length: it should be less than 65535. If you store aliases in the same array with names you shrink available name quantity per table.
that check is not against name_map, but rather against "names", where aliases are not inserted, so this limit is not changed at all.
I don't know what's the average use of an nv_table and if adding aliases into the same namespace can break anything, so it's up to you. The code itself is OK and seems to be fully functional in my case (I don't perform full functional tests, I only test some things I really need).
aliases should be in the same namespace, but shouldn't be counted in the limit. but they are not. I'm committing this patch. I'm adding a signed-off-by tag on your behalf, please let me know if it's not ok for you. The signed-off-by tag indicates that you rightfully submitted and contributed the patch, it is explained here https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/SubmittingPatches Thanks. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.balabit.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes.
