Mixing in different stuff would be a bad practice. BTW I just explained that it ain't wrong, so I really do not understand what do you mean by 'why not doing it right'. Can you please explain? Did you agree with the rest of my comment? I mean there was more to it. Regards, Halil

Can you please explain? >I did not wanted to discuss a long time on this and gave my R-B, so meaning that I am OK with this patch. But if you ask, yes I can, it seems quite obvious. When you build a CCW you give the pointer to CCW->cda and you give the size of the transfer in CCW->count. Here the count is initialized with the sizeof of the pointer used to initialize CCW->cda with. Lukily we work on a 64 bits machine with 64 bits pointers and the size of the pointed object is 64 bits wide so... the resulting count is right. But it is not the correct way to do it. That is all. Not a big concern, you do not need to change it, as you said it can be done in another patch.> Did you agree with the rest of my comment? I mean there was more to it. >I understood from your comments that the indicators in Linux are 64bits wide so all OK. Regards Pierre -- Pierre Morel Linux/KVM/QEMU in B?blingen - Germany
