Hey Trond,

Will this bug fix make 2.6.30?

Thanks,

Steve.

Not in the form it is in now. As I've said earlier, I'm not happy about
the sunrpc layer having to circumvent ordinary type checking on
non-sunrpc structures.

Cheers

How is it circumventing? It's currently incorrectly casting a pointer into a u64. That seems just broken to me. Also, its really the sunrpc rdma transport layer. It deals specifically with rdma. It _should_ know about rdma interfaces and types.

But I'll whip up get/put type accessor methods for this field if that's what you require. In the meantime, customers will just crash I guess.


Steve.
