[RFC 22/27] sunrpc: New xdr_rewind_stream()

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



In a long encoded xdr stream, we might run out of allocated xdr space.
In some situations it is possibly to reset the xdr buffer to a previuos
good state and send a parial list, which is better then just BUGing as
today or completely failing the xdr.

* define such API that can move the xdr pointer to a good known
  state before the failed encoding.
