[Gluster-devel] Release 3.10 testing update: Older client unable to mount post upgrade

[Atin Mukherjee]

This is definitely a bug and we have broken the older client support. [1]
is the one which has caused it.

We have changed the type of rda-request-size from int to size_t because of
which the older clients are unable to understand the KB format. I remember
when this patch was in its implementation this change had to be done to
avoid a crash [2] . We'd have to revert back the data type to int to ensure
backward compatibility, now how do we solve the crash which we were seeing
earlier is something to be looked at.
