A few notes about struct xfs_da_args: The XFS_ATTR_* flags only go up as far as XFS_ATTR_INCOMPLETE, which means that attr_filter could be a u8 field. I've reduced the number of XFS_DA_OP_* flags down to the point where op_flags would also fit into a u8. filetype has 7 bytes of slack after it, which is wasteful. namelen will never be greater than MAXNAMELEN, which is 256. This field could be reduced to a short. Rearrange the fields in xfs_da_args to waste less space. This reduces the structure size from 136 bytes to 128. Later when we add extra fields to support parent pointer replacement, this will only bloat the structure to 144 bytes, instead of 168. Signed-off-by: Darrick J.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
