Trying to run the compilation tests against 2.6.16-rc1-git1 and am
getting this:

  CC [M]  drivers/infiniband/ulp/iser/iscsi_iser.o
  drivers/infiniband/ulp/iser/iscsi_iser.c:1573: warning: initialization from incompatible pointer type
  drivers/infiniband/ulp/iser/iscsi_iser.c:1574: warning: initialization from incompatible pointer type

  drivers/infiniband/ulp/iser/iscsi_iser.c:1579: warning: initialization from incompatible pointer type
  drivers/infiniband/ulp/iser/iscsi_iser.c: In function `iscsi_iser_init':
  drivers/infiniband/ulp/iser/iscsi_iser.c:1886: warning: assignment makes integer from pointer without a cast
  make[3]: *** [drivers/infiniband/ulp/iser/iscsi_iser.o] Error 1
  make[2]: *** [drivers/infiniband/ulp/iser] Error 2
  make[1]: *** [drivers/infiniband] Error 2
  make: *** [drivers] Error 2

when using the patch you sent me. Should I not apply the patch to
2.6.16-rc1 and on? Or are these new issues. This is with svn 5065.

Thanks,
