Hmm... if any members have some questions about the fix, commonly it
means the related fix need additional improvement.
Is it better to use BUILD_BUG() for the fix ? e.g. the diff may like
below (based on the applied patch):
-----------------------------diff begin----------------------------
diff --git a/include/linux/coda.h b/include/linux/coda.h
index d30209b..5f87d5d 100644
--- a/include/linux/coda.h
+++ b/include/linux/coda.h
@@ -60,6 +60,11 @@ Mellon the rights to redistribute these changes without encumbrance.
#if defined(__linux__)

-#endif
+#else
+#include <linux/bug.h>
