Also that uint32_t x = htons(y) Simply doesn't work when you mix big and little endian. So, the choices are: switch the type to uint16, or switch to htonl. This is the reason only this struct was changed - because it is the only place where htons is being applied incorrectly, while finding all the wrong htons is a bit harder. python cares because it cannot easily construct something so malformed :) Jason -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-rdma" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
