Thanks for the > clarification and please ignore the patch... No problem. I can see how the NFS_COOKIEVERF() macro can be confusing. I should post a patch to get rid of that macro for 2.6.39 and just open code the few instances that care about accessing the cookieverf field. Other macros that have outlived their usefulness include NFS_FH(), NFS_FILEID(), NFS_CLIENT() and possibly NFS_SERVER()... -- Trond Myklebust Linux NFS client maintainer NetApp Trond.Myklebust@xxxxxxxxxx www.netapp.com -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-nfs" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
