The field is used by ext4 snapshots code to store the transaction id in which the buffer was last cowed. Merging this patch to kernel 2.6.39, will allow users to test ext4 snapshots as a standalone module, without the need to patch and install a development kernel. On a 64bit machine the field is using an aliged memory padding space and does not increase the size of the struct. On a 32bit machine this patch increases the size of the struct from 60 to 64 bytes: Before: jbd2_journal_head 57 126 60 63 1 : tunables 120 60 0 : slabdata 2 2 0 After: jbd2_journal_head 61 118 64 59 1 : tunables 120 60 0 : slabdata 2 2 0 Signed-off-by: Amir Goldstein <amir73il@users.sf.net> --- include/linux/journal-head.h | 7 +++++++ 1 files changed, 7 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-)
