I'd still have a slight preference for doing it that way, just because it would take fewer lines of code--but I can live with this too, so I'll leave the choice to Tigran's excellent taste.... > { ~0, { { ~0, ~0 }, ~0 } } is ugly but compact :) > > And the following may be an overkill... > { > .si_generation = ~0, > .si_opaque = { > .so_clid = { > .cl_boot = ~0, > .cl_id = ~0, > }, > .so_id = ~0 > } > }; Reminding myself of http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5661#section-8.2.3... "Stateid values whose "other" field is either all zeros or all ones are reserved." Maybe: #define all_ones {{~0,~0 },~0} #define all_zeroes {{ 0, 0 }, 0} const stateid_t one_stateid = { .si_generation = ~0, .si_opaque = all_ones }; const stateid_t current_stateid = { .si_generation = 1, .si_opaque = all_zeroes }; ... Or you could ditch the all_zeroes; it's just there for some kind of symmetry. --b. -- 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
