The following patches reduce the size of the VFS inode structure by 28 bytes
on a UP x86.  (It would be more on an x86_64 system).  This is a 10% reduction
in the inode size on a UP kernel that is configured in a production mode
(i.e., with no spinlock or other debugging functions enabled; if you want to
save memory taken up by in-core inodes, the first thing you should do is
disable the debugging options; they are responsible for a huge amount of bloat
in the VFS inode structure).

This patch:

The filesystem or device-specific pointer in the inode is inside a union,
which is pretty pointless given that all 30+ users of this field have been
using the void pointer.  Get rid of the union and rename it to i_private, with
a comment to explain who is allowed to use the void pointer.  This is just a
cleanup, but it allows us to reuse the union 'u' for something something where
the union will actually be used.

When the debug buffer has filled up, break from the loop and return the
correct number of bytes that have been written.

&gt; I think you must have an old version of the base kernel as well?
&gt; i_private no longer exists in struct inode, so you'll have to use
&gt; something else,

I have that patch in my stack but didn't send it; for some reason I
thought it was already changed in your git tree.

Argh, sorry about that... when I fixed these a long time ago they somehow
never got included in the quilt patches.  I mistakenly assumed the quilt

This is the core of the distributed lock manager which is required
to use GFS2 as a cluster filesystem. It is also used by CLVM and
can be used as a standalone lock manager independantly of either
of these two projects.

It implements VAX-style locking modes.
