This series was inspired by two recent events: talking to a academic researcher about the harm of function pointer casts for static analysis at a conference, and reading up the whole Grsecurity drama, including finding that their patchset does a lot of work to remove these casts in sunrpc and nfs (and in fact those seem the biggest culprit in the kernel), and constifying the operation vectors like so many others in the kernel, although done in a rather hacky and/or mechnical way. Note that the first part of the series is about the RPC forechannel, and the latter about the backchannel, but due to bidirection operation in NFSv4 there is no really clean split between the client and server parts. Changes from RFC: - move procedure call counters into separate arrays -- 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
