Subject: [PATCH 2/2] nbd: change a parameter's type to remove a memcpy call

From: Denis Cheng <[email-masked]>
Date: Thu, 19 Jul 2007 17:34:31 +0800

this memcpy looks so strange, in fact it's merely a pointer dereference,
so I change the parameter's type to refer it more directly,
this could make the memcpy not needed anymore.

in the function nbd_read_stat where nbd_find_request is only once called,
the parameter served should be transformed accordingly.
