[f2fs-dev][PATCH] f2fs: merge two uchar variable in struct nat_entry to reduce memory cost

From: Chao Yu
Date: Mon Dec 08 2014 - 02:14:46 EST


This patch moves one member of struct nat_entry: _flag_ to struct node_info,
so _version_ in struct node_info and _flag_ with unsigned char type will merge
to one 32-bit space in register/memory. Then the size of nat_entry will reduce
its size from 28 bytes to 24 bytes and slab memory using by f2fs will be
reduced.
