Hi Greg,

RDS is using the CMSG_ calls defined in "man 3 cmsg" for ancillary data.
Are we using these incorrectly in the RDS kernel code?

I'd apply a patch to fix it if so, but 32/64 is not a real-world setup
that anyone is running Oracle (and thus RDS) on, so it's not something I
personally can spend time on to address right now.
