Can someone confirm whether there's still a problem with knfsd filehandles on 64-bit CPUs? Alan still lists it as a problem on his web page, and I don't recall seeing any patches go by.
I have an idea of how to fix this (if it's still broken), but if anyone else has ideas on this I'm open to suggestions.
The problem still exists on sparc64 because we have 64-bit ino_t
I was going to run though making a patch which used __u32 for the filehandle ino_t's since 2.2.x Linux will never generate a filehandle with a value larger than 32-bits can represent. So if you want to do it, feel free as you'll probably get to it before me.
