Yes, as that's what your email[2] is pointing to.

This patch is now using chans_need_reconnect as unsigned long instead of size_t
+       /*
+        * chans_need_reconnect is a bitmap indicating which of the channels
+        * under this smb session needs to be reconnected.

+        */
+       unsigned long chans_need_reconnect;

The commit in the PR has indeed been updated, but the link[3] in the
pull request hasn't.

This makes it very difficult to find and track patches, and review
commits hidden in pull requests that don't even contain the subjects
of the patches in the pull summary. so searching in lore doesn't
find them.
The Linux review policy requires _patches_ to be sent to public
mailing lists.

Thanks for your cooperation!

You can find the updated patches in the linux-cifs mailing list about an hour ago.
Titled: Multichannel patches

The link in the updated PR still points to the old buggy patch.

Thanks for the email.
I've already submitted the fix for this. You should see this fixed tomorrow.

Where can I find these submitted fixes?

As per linux-next policy[1], commits in linux-next should be posted to the relevant mailing list first, which is linux-cifs, AFAIK.

Thanks!

   [...]

As bitops can only operate on long objects, and
cifs_ses_get_chan_index() already returns "unsigned long", fix this by changing cifs_ses.chans_need_reconnect and chan_index from "size_t" to "unsigned long".

Can you please add Link: headers when committing patches?
I could not find this patch in the lore archives of linux-cifs or linux-fsdevel, presumably it was posted elsewhere?
Thanks!
