Subject: [PATCH 2/2] nbd: change a parameter's type to remove a memcpy call
Date: Thu, 19 Jul 2007 17:34:31 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <11848377013773-git-send-email-crquan@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <11848376711601-git-send-email-crquan@gmail.com>

this memcpy looks so strange, in fact it's merely a pointer dereference,
so I change the parameter's type to refer it more directly,
this could make the memcpy not needed anymore.

in the function nbd_read_stat where nbd_find_request is only once called,
the parameter served should be transformed accordingly.
