This will need a v2 ... something in my manipulations is triggering a
bizarre warning in Clang:


../fs/dlm/rcom.c:490:13: error: member reference type 'int' is not a pointer
  490 |         memcpy(rc->rc_buf, rc_in->rc_buf, sizeof(struct rcom_lock));
      |                ~~  ^
../include/linux/fortify-string.h:636:47: note: expanded from macro 'memcpy'
  636 | #define memcpy(p, q, s)  __fortify_memcpy_chk(p, q, s,                  \
      |                                               ^
../include/linux/fortify-string.h:591:20: note: expanded from macro '__fortify_memcpy_chk'
  591 |         __underlying_##op(p, q, __fortify_size);                        \
      |                           ^


I'll track it down...
