Presumably you're only ever pointing into one of the argument or result structures which are currently guaranteed to be around for as long as the compound is processed. But it'd seem safer not to have to worry about the lifetime of the pointed-to data at all, and just copy the stateid--it's only 16 bytes. --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
