Subject: Re: [PATCH 1/3] staging:lustre: remove tcpip abstraction from libcfs

This patch does a lot of stuff all at once and it is hard to review.  It
could easily be broken into patches which are easy to review.

Do unrelated white space changes in a different patch.  It just makes
reviewing complicated to mix easy to review white space changes in with
everything else.

Do a rename patch by itself.  You can rename a bunch of functions at the
same time, that's fine.  Personally, you can even move the functions
between files, that's also fine with me and doesn't complicate my
review.

Ok in this next section we move functions around and rename them but
also introduce some bad changes in the new function.

sock_alloc_file() never returns NULL, only valid pointers on success or
ERR_PTRs on failue.

This is an unrelated cleanup.  Do it in a different patch.

This is a new change as well.  "fd" is always -1 so this is dead code.

Here is the old function:

This check was correct in the original.

This patch has some bug fixes as well.  Those should be sent as one
patch per bugfix with a proper changelog.
