Looks like you landed at the same commit as Bruce, so that's probably
legit. That commit is very small though. The only real change that
doesn't affect the new field is this:


@@ -1766,7 +1766,7 @@ rpc_xdr_encode(struct rpc_task *task)
                     req->rq_buffer,
                     req->rq_callsize);
        xdr_buf_init(&req->rq_rcv_buf,
-                    (char *)req->rq_buffer + req->rq_callsize,
+                    req->rq_rbuffer,
                     req->rq_rcvsize);


So I'm guessing this is breaking the callback channel somehow?
