Oh no, you only have one allocator, and you have the filesystem do it, with per-sb methods. Why is this better than having the VFS do it? Does this imply you might have different sized inodes with different mounts of the same filesystem? The per-fs cost with my variant is: 4-8 bytes per filesystem, period. No methods needed, and the object management code doesn't get replicated through all the filesystems. Also, having the inode point at itself is a little, hmm, 'what's wrong with this picture', don't you think? -- Daniel - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/ | ||||||||||||
