From f06becc4119856c984e3beef54aa75538e656c6d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Filipe David Borba Manana Date: Mon, 16 Sep 2013 09:53:28 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] Btrfs: don't store NULL byte in symlink extents It is not necessary to store the NULL byte in a symlink inline file extent. There's currently no code that requires the NULL byte to be present in the extent. This change also doesn't break file format compatibility nor the send/receive feature. The VFS also doesn't need the NULL byte to be present in the extent, as it reads up to inode->i_size bytes (which already excluded the NULL byte) and sets the NULL byte for us (in fs/namei.c:page_getlink()). So with this change we save 1 byte per symlink file extent (which is always inlined in the btree leaf) without losing backward and forward compatibility.
