            This ticket can be closed since we have test sanity 400b to make sure this doesn't happen again.

            Thanks, that makes sense. Since there is activity here, maybe someone can add that definition to the file in the next commit.

            Since Lustre is based on an RCP interface, most likely it's a reference to Interface Definition Language, such as the kind used with rpcgen to use SUNRPC and similar RPC implementations.

            What does IDL even stand for?

            With the work of LU-6401 I started to look closely at lustre_idl.h and I noticed its not really needed to user land except for wiretest and the wirechecker hack. It might be possible to make lustre_idl.h a kernel space only header.

            That is excellent that some functions for liblustreapi has to be redone. We can move that code to liblustre_util.c and make it LGPL
            Please do send you WIP patch. I will gladly move it forward. I myself started to unwind the libcfs.h mess for the user land tools and utilities.
