From 69f07ec938712b58755add82dd3d0b35f01317cc Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Hugh Dickins Date: Wed, 3 Aug 2011 16:21:26 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] tmpfs: use kmemdup for short symlinks But we've not yet removed the old swp_entry_t i_direct[16] from shmem_inode_info. That's because it was still being shared with the inline symlink. Remove it now (saving 64 or 128 bytes from shmem inode size), and use kmemdup() for short symlinks, say, those up to 128 bytes. I wonder why mpol_free_shared_policy() is done in shmem_destroy_inode() rather than shmem_evict_inode(), where we usually do such freeing? I guess it doesn't matter, and I'm not into NUMA mpol testing right now.
