In the past it was usually enough to just align it to alignof(unsigned long), not actually make it long. struct page went through this a long time ago. This could cause r-m-w races with the next field in theory, but assuming it's reasonably read-only (ie only set up at inode creation time) that should be fine. -Andi -- ak@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx -- Speaking for myself only -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe sparclinux" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
