Subject: [PATCH] proc: make struct proc_dir_entry::namelen unsigned int
Date: Tue, 8 Mar 2011 12:54:28 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20110308105428.GA5767@p183.telecom.by> (raw)
Space is not really conserved, because of natural alignment for the next field.
sizeof(struct proc_dir_entry) remains the same.
