Thanks a lot for this.
I agree that the function pointer cast is bad, and I think it is best
to get rid of it entirely. This means changing the first arg of
*_encode_entry to be a 'void *', but I think the benefits are worth
the cost.
So I've modified your patch to do this and also fixed the nfsv4 code.
I'll get it into 2.6.20 and 2.6.19.x
Thanks,

----------------------
Fix type mismatch with filldir_t used by nfsd.
nfsd defines a type 'encode_dent_fn' which is much like 'filldir_t'
except that the first pointer is 'struct readdir_cd *' rather than
'void *'. It then casts encode_dent_fn points to 'filldir_t' as
needed. This hides any other type mismatches between the two such as
the fact that the 'ino' arg recently changed from ino_t to u64.
So: get rid of 'encode_dent_fn', get rid of the cast of the function
type, change the first arg of various functions from 'struct readdir_cd *'
to 'void *', and live with the fact that we have a little less type
checking on the calling of these functions now.
Less internal (to nfsd) checking offset by more external checking, which
is more important.
Thanks to Gabriel Paubert <[email protected]> for discovering this and
providing an initial patch.
