Hi, David.

Why 34? /proc will fallback to separate allocation for name anyway.

I sent nearly identical patch earlier.

If you compare, the differences are:

* no BUILD_BUG_ON,
* 64 bytes is too litle even on 32-bit,
* 512 bytes is probably too much even on 64-bit.

This will "uninline" 5 bytes wasting space.
