The patch titled Subject: fs/proc: calculate /proc/* and /proc/*/task/* nlink at init time has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is proc-calculate-proc-and-proc-task-nlink-at-init-time.patch This patch should soon appear at http://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmots/broken-out/proc-calculate-proc-and-proc-task-nlink-at-init-time.patch and later at http://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmotm/broken-out/proc-calculate-proc-and-proc-task-nlink-at-init-time.patch Before you just go and hit "reply", please: a) Consider who else should be cc'ed b) Prefer to cc a suitable mailing list as well c) Ideally: find the original patch on the mailing list and do a reply-to-all to that, adding suitable additional cc's *** Remember to use Documentation/SubmitChecklist when testing your code *** The -mm tree is included into linux-next and is updated there every 3-4 working days ------------------------------------------------------ From: Alexey Dobriyan <adobriyan@xxxxxxxxx> Subject: fs/proc: calculate /proc/* and /proc/*/task/* nlink at init time Runtime nlink calculation works but meh. I don't know how to do it at compile time, but I know how to do it at init time. Shift "2+" part into init time as a bonus.
