Subject: shmem: shrink shmem_inode_info: dir_offsets in a union
Date: Fri, 29 Sep 2023 20:25:38 -0700 (PDT)
Patch series "shmem,tmpfs: general maintenance".
Mostly just cosmetic mods in mm/shmem.c, but the last two enforcing the
"size=" limit better. 8/8 goes into percpu counter territory, and could
stand alone.
This patch (of 8):
Shave 32 bytes off (the 64-bit) shmem_inode_info. There was a 4-byte
pahole after stop_eviction, better filled by fsflags. And the 24-byte
dir_offsets can only be used by directories, whereas shrinklist and
swaplist only by shmem_mapping() inodes (regular files or long symlinks):
so put those into a union. No change in mm/shmem.c is required for this.
