Subject: Historical reason for NFS_MOUNT_FLAGMASK?
Date: Wed, 12 Mar 2025 11:23:09 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <37CB7B45-A199-4815-8D4A-95D06CDA2D0C@redhat.com> (raw)

I'm looking for some bits in the nfs_mount_data.flags, and wondering why we
have only 16 bits masked off due to:

#define NFS_MOUNT_FLAGMASK     0xFFFF

Does anyone recall why we've limited the ABI to 16 bits here?

Ben
