While trying to get up to speed I notice that these flags were introduced by b18825a7c8e37a7cf6abb97a12a6ad71af160de7 "VFS: Put a small type field into struct dentry::d_flags" whose changelog tells me "what" but not "why". So out of curiosity: was that some kind of optimization, or was there some other reason for it? --b. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
