[PATCH 0/4] sysfs: Reduce the size of sysfs_dirent

[Eric W. Biederman]

After throwing rb_trees at the problem sysfs_dirent increased in size by
6 pointers, or 48 bytes.    Since the point of having struct
sysfs_dirent is to keep the size down increasing in size that much seems
unfortunate.

The following patches attack this problem and if I have counted right
reduce the size of sysfs_dirent by 4 pointers on 64bit.  Not quite
where we were but reducing sysfs_dirent by 32bytes to 104 bytes is
an improvement.
