Subject: [PATCH][INODE]: Save some bytes in struct inode
Date: Thu, 30 Nov 2006 11:29:20 -0200 [thread overview]

[acme@newtoy net-2.6.20]$
So just moving i_mode to after i_bytes we save 4 bytes by nuking both holes:
[acme@newtoy net-2.6.20]$ codiff -V /tmp/inode.o.before fs/inode.o
/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/acme/net-2.6.20/fs/inode.c:
struct inode | -4
i_mode;
from: umode_t /* 40(0) 2(0) */
to: umode_t /* 102(0) 2(0) */
1 struct changed
[acme@newtoy net-2.6.20]$
I've prunned all the other offset changes, only this one is of interest here.
So now we have:
