change of inode->i_private to inode->u.generic_ip

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi,

In kernel 2.6 there was a change of the union member field of inode
structure . So code which used previously used inode->u.generic_ip to
store its private information should use the new field
inode->i_private. I found references some sites that this change was
done primarily to reduce the VFS inode structure size.

Any other reasons of doing this ??
