This is a note to let you know that I have just added a patch titled fs: Set the size of empty dirs to 0. to the linux-3.19.y-queue branch of the 3.19.y-ckt extended stable tree which can be found at: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git/ubuntu/linux.git/log/?h=linux-3.19.y-queue This patch is scheduled to be released in version 3.19.8-ckt8.

Biederman" <ebiederm@xmission.com> Date: Wed, 12 Aug 2015 15:00:12 -0500 Subject: fs: Set the size of empty dirs to 0. commit 4b75de8615050c1b0dd8d7794838c42f74ed36ba upstream. Before the make_empty_dir_inode calls were introduce into proc, sysfs, and sysctl those directories when stated reported an i_size of 0. make_empty_dir_inode started reporting an i_size of 2. At least one userspace application depended on stat returning i_size of 0. So modify make_empty_dir_inode to cause an i_size of 0 to be reported for these directories.
