    SubjectRemoving i_sock

    The i_sock member of struct inode is redundant with S_ISSOCK(i_mode).
    Here's a series of 6 patches to remove it:

    http://ftp.linux.org.uk/pub/linux/willy/patches/i_sock/

    I'm sending them to their respective maintainers now, and I'll submit
    a series after 2.6.10 is out.

    Removing i_sock from struct inode actually doesn't reduce the size of
    struct inode -- it fits into a gap between two other members. But it may
    help someone else put struct inode on a diet, and it reduces confusion.

    the nation that is attacked, and every man will be glad of those
    conscience-soothing falsities, and will diligently study them, and refuse
    to examine any refutations of them; and thus he will by and by convince
    himself that the war is just, and will thank God for the better sleep
    he enjoys after this process of grotesque self-deception." -- Mark Twain
