[RFC PATCH] vfs: optimization to /proc/<pid>/mountinfo patch

From: Ram Pai
Date: Mon Feb 04 2008 - 04:17:26 EST


1) reports deleted inode in dentry_path() consistent with that in __d_path()
2) modified __d_path() to use prepend(), reducing the size of __d_path()
3) moved all the functionality that reports mount information in /proc under
CONFIG_PROC_FS.

Could not verify if the code would work with CONFIG_PROC_FS=n, since it was
impossible to disable CONFIG_PROC_FS. Looking for ideas on how to disable
CONFIG_PROC_FS.
