[OpenAFS-devel] RE: OpenAFS CVS Commit: openafs/src/cf by shadow

[Neulinger, Nathan]

Seems to me that the only time the size actually matters is when allocating
the vnode.

Why not just:

typedef struct inode vnode_t;

and then special case where vnode's are allocated to allocate a minimal size
of the inode (i.e. sizeof(struct inode)-sizeof(someinode.u)), or something
like that.

Alternatively, adding perl as a build dependency on linux would make it
relatively easy to autogenerate the struct vnode definition.
