Re: [PATCH v2 1/1] lockd: Change nsm_use_hostnames from bool to u32

hi, jia
nice catch!
However I think we should fix it totally.
This is because do_proc_dointvec_conv() try to get a int value from a bool *.

something like below might help. pls. ignore the code style and this is tested :)

å 2016/12/11 23:36, Jia He åé:
nsm_use_hostnames is a module paramter and it will be exported to sysctl
procfs. This is to let user sometimes change it from userspace. But the
minimal unit for sysctl procfs read/write it sizeof(int).
In big endian system, the converting from/to bool to/from int will cause
error for proc items.

This patch changes the type definition of nsm_use_hostnames.
