Subject: [PATCH] nfs: Fix mismatch between encode_dent_fn and filldir_t
Date: Wed, 17 Jan 2007 20:02:18 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20070117190218.GA23901@iram.es> (raw)

The 5th parameter of filldir_t function type used by vfs_readdir
was changed from ino_t to u64 in October. Unfortunately the patch 
missed some files in fs/nfsd where functions pointers of type 
encode_dent_fn are passed around and finally cast to filldir_t.

The effect is only visible when an NFS server is run on a 32 bit
big-endian machine (it would have been visible on all 32 bit
architectures if the 6th parameter had been used). The results
are interesting: all files have an inode of 0 (unique you say?) 
from getdents(2) and even ls(1) does not find any files.

Signed-off-by: Gabriel Paubert <paubert@iram.es>

P.S.: this shows that function pointer casts are evil, but I did not 
find a simpler way to fix this.
