From 524b6c5b39b931311dfe5a2f5abae2f5c9731676 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Eric W. Biederman" Date: Sun, 18 Dec 2011 20:09:31 -0800 Subject: sysfs: Kill nlink counting. Tracking the number of subdirectories requires an extra field that increases the size of sysfs_dirent. nlinks are not particularly interesting for sysfs and the nlink counts are wrong when network namespaces are involved so stop counting them, and always return nlink == 1. Userspace already knows that directories with nlink == 1 have an nlink count they can't use to count subdirectories. This reduces the size of sysfs_dirent by 8 bytes on 64bit platforms.
