Hi, I've tried to figure out details about the "do *not* use" magic values for nbd. They are referenced from the documentation in the current linux kernel! https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/Documentation/process/magic-number.rst?h=v5.16#n99 > NBD_REQUEST_MAGIC 0x12560953 nbd_request ``include/linux/nbd.h`` https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/Documentation/process/magic-number.rst?h=v5.16#n137
NBD_REPLY_MAGIC 0x96744668 nbd_reply ``include/linux/nbd.h``
That is stale, correct? Still in use: https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/2.1.116pre2/source/include/linux/nbd.h Not used anymore, replaced with new values https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/2.1.116/source/include/linux/nbd.h Thus a bit outdated. Should I send a patch to update it? And: The translations are manually maintained, correct? Thus all files need to be updated. -- Manfred
