SubjectRe: [lustre-devel] [PATCH] drivers: staging/lustre: conrpc.c - fix sparse error: incompatible types in comparison expression (different address spaces)

This is a known problem, but can't immediately be fixed because it affects the interface with
userspace tools. The correct solution is to not use struct list_head in the user interface
at all, and we are looking into that.

In the meantime, feel free to look at the warnings that are now visible after this patch is
applied (locally on your system).

Thanks, Andreas
