[PATCH 3/5] fs: Slim down inode by only using an unsigned int for i_dnotify_mask

From: Theodore Ts'o
Date: Thu May 21 2009 - 16:02:03 EST


The dnotify mask values range from 0x0001 through 0x0020, as well as
0x80000000 (for DN_MULTISHOT). There is no need for this field to be
an unsigned long (which is 8 bytes on 64-bit systems). Using an
unsigned int will save 4 bytes for the inode structure on 64-bit
systems.
