I think you mean
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/nab/target-pending.git/commit/?h=for-next&id=f2f1dbf84bf6b18d8c3111c9d9078d9a2bf27ca0
("target/iscsi-target: Convert se_node_acl statistics to atomic_long_t")

But that patch is pretty silly ... the fact that you are able to
change the type of those members of struct se_node_acl without
changing any code that actually reads the values and still have
everything compile should be a clue that maybe those values aren't
being used.

So I think my patch makes a lot more sense than the patch that I
linked to above.

But I'm happy to respin my patch on top of your pending tree if you
want (ie delete the new version of members instead of the old).

 - R.
