The 'fld_read_server' uses 'RMF_GENERIC_DATA' to hold the 'FLD_QUERY' RPC reply that is composed of 'struct lu_seq_range_array'. But there is not registered swabber function for 'RMF_GENERIC_DATA'. So the RPC peers need to handle the RPC reply with fixed little-endian format. In theory, we can define new structure with some swabber registered to handle the 'FLD_QUERY' RPC reply result automatically. But from the implementation view, it is not easy to be done within current 'struct req_msg_field' framework. Because the sequence range array in the RPC reply is not fixed length, instead, its length depends on 'lu_seq_range' count, that is unknown when prepare the RPC buffer. Generally, for such flexible length RPC usage, there will be a field in the RPC layout to indicate the data length. But for the 'FLD_READ' RPC, we have no way to do that unless we add new length filed that will broken the on-wire RPC protocol and cause interoperability trouble with old peer.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
