"everywhere" is a little bit over estimated in this case.
â  linux-rdma git:(master) git grep RemainingBytes
fs/cifs/smb2pdu.c:              req->RemainingBytes = cpu_to_le32(remaining_bytes);
fs/cifs/smb2pdu.c:              req->RemainingBytes = 0;
fs/cifs/smb2pdu.c:      req->RemainingBytes = 0;
fs/cifs/smb2pdu.c:      req->RemainingBytes = 0;
fs/cifs/smb2pdu.h:      __le32 RemainingBytes;
fs/cifs/smb2pdu.h:      __le32 RemainingBytes;

One simple "sed -i" will replace all them in one shot and it doesn't
look like undoable task.

Yes, another cleanup patch is needed before your patches. You are adding
your code in 2017 and you are expected to follow present coding standards
like everyone else in the kernel.
