To: linux-kernel, linux-fsdevel
While we store the (dentry, nameidata) in struct file as a struct path, we do
not do so in struct nameidata at the moment. Here is a patch that changes
that. The changes are syntactic only; gcc should generate identical code.
So what is this good for?
Well, we currently pass around (dentry, vfsmount) pairs in a number of places.
With this change, these pairs of objects are embedded in a struct path for
all file lookup oprations or open files. We could start passing around struct
paths instead of (dentry, vfsmount) pairs, without having to construct
temporary struct path objects. This could lead to nice code cleanups. The
struct paths could be passed by value or by reference.
Opinions?
Thanks,
Andreas

On its own, I don't like this patch too much. It is just a form of
mental masturbation that complicates the source.

However, once we start passing struct path by reference, it should
result in a smaller binary. So if this patch is followed by others, as
you indicated, and the overall result is a measurably smaller binary,
I'm all for it.

Thanks for pointing out the masturbation thing. I was actually polling for
comments; this single patch in itself wasn't meant to be the ultimate hot
stuff.

There are several components to it. Storing the dentry and vfsmount in a
struct path allows to pass them somewhere where a struct path is expected
without having to construct a temporary struct path object. Also, two
parameters would become one; I believe that this could lead to somewhat
cleaner code in some places.
The other question is whether we would want to pass such struct paths by value
or by reference: by value would lead to roughly the same code that we have
right now. By reference would reduce the function call overhead, but would
blow up the code that accesses the struct path elements by about the same
amount: getting to the dentry or vfsmount from a struct path pointer requires
a pointer dereference.
It's hard to tell whether the code size would decrease overall with
by-reference passing. The experiments I did didn't, but I also didn't try to
optimize the by-reference code.
Thanks,
Andreas

Yes, my wording wasn't too diplomatic - again. Some day I might learn.
What I should have said is something like: The patch has no merits of
its own. Its usefullness depends completely on the follow-up patches.

Some time ago I stopped believing in "cleaner" code. If any given patch
has no merits besides being cleaner, in most cases it is just changing
the code to the personal taste of whoever is sending the patch.
In this concrete case, your current patch is full of replacements that
make the code longer and doesn't seem to add much else. In my personal
opinion that makes the code less clean. The number of parameters for
some functions could be reduced, if calling by value, but overall it is
just a large amount of churn without any real benefit.
Call-by-reference may be a completely different story. If that turns
out to reduce binary size, we are well beyond personal taste and
masturbation.

Hmm. This doesn't confirm my hope of size reduction. It was a nice
idea and definitely worth investigating. Thank you for doing it and
sorry for experiencing my unique charm.
