There is a need to forward FW version to user space application through RDMA netlink. In order to make it safe, there is need to declare nla_policy and limit the size of FW string. The new define IB_FW_VERSION_NAME_MAX will limit the size of FW version string. That define was chosen to be equal to ETHTOOL_FWVERS_LEN, because many drivers anyway are limited by that value indirectly. The introduction of this define allows us to remove the string size from get_fw_str function signature. Signed-off-by: Leon Romanovsky <leonro@mellanox.com>
Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
