[Lustre-devel] Query to understand the Lustre request/reply message

[Vilobh Meshram]

I want to understand the message encoding and decoding logic in lustre.I am
planning to send a request to the MDS and based on the reply from MDs want
to populate the

   struct lustre_msg *rq_repbuf; /* client only, buf may be bigger than msg
*/
   struct lustre_msg *rq_repmsg;

I am trying this for a simple "Hello" message but not seeing the expected
output.Sometime I even see Kernel Crash.
If you can please give me some insight on the way the Lustre File system
encodes decodes the messages sent accross nodes it would be helpful.

Thanks,
Vilobh
