Move bi_size and bi_sectors into the non-varint portion of the inode, so that the write path can update them without going through the relatively expensive unpack/pack operations. Other changes: - Add a field for the offset of the varint section, so we can add new non-varint fields without needing a new inode type, like alloc_v3 - Move bi_mode into the flags field, so that the varint section can be u64 aligned Signed-off-by: Kent Overstreet <kent.overstreet@linux.dev>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
