Subject[PATCH 5/5] Dump the inode structure (for debugging purposes only)
Date
This is not intended for merging; but it's useful for determining how
much varous fields in the struct inode space, and whether there is any
padding leading to waste, especially on a 64-bit platforms.

For example:

Begin dump of struct inode (size 1144)
i_hash : 0 16 0
i_list : 16 16 0
i_sb_list : 32 16 0
i_dentry : 48 16 0
i_ino : 64 8 0
i_count : 72 4 0
i_nlink : 76 4 0
i_uid : 80 4 0
i_gid : 84 4 0
i_rdev : 88 4 0
i_version : 96 8 4
i_size : 104 8 0
i_atime : 112 16 0
i_mtime : 128 16 0
i_ctime : 144 16 0
i_blocks : 160 8 0
i_blkbits : 168 4 0
i_bytes : 172 2 0
i_mode : 174 2 0
i_lock : 176 64 0
i_mutex : 240 152 0
i_alloc_sem: 392 128 0
i_op : 520 8 0
i_fop : 528 8 0
i_sb : 536 8 0
i_flock : 544 8 0
i_mapping : 552 8 0
i_data : 560 328 0
i_dquot : 888 16 0
i_devices : 904 16 0
i_pipe : 920 8 0
i_bdev : 920 8 -8
i_cdev : 920 8 -8
i_generation: 928 4 0
i_dnotify_mask: 932 4 0
i_dnotify : 936 8 0
inotify_watches: 944 16 0
inotify_mutex: 960 152 0
dirtied_when: 1112 8 0
i_state : 1120 2 0
i_flags : 1122 2 0
i_writecount: 1124 4 0
i_security: 1128 8 0
i_private : 1136 8 0

This shows us that i_data, an struct address_space data structure,
takes 328 bytes; i_mutex takes 152 bytes, the i_alloc_sem rw_semaphore
takes 128 bytes, and the i_lock spinlock takes 64 bytes. A lot of
this space is due to varous LOCKDEP and spinlock debugging options.

(With all debugging turned off, the inode structure shrinks from 1144
bytes to 560 bytes, with i_data being 144 bytes, i_mutex being 32
bytes, i_alloc_sem being 24 bytes, and i_lock taking 4 bytes.)
