IMA: move read counter into struct inode
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
IMA currently allocated an inode integrity structure for every inode in
core.  This stucture is about 120 bytes long.  Most files however
(especially on a system which doesn't make use of IMA) will never need
any of this space.  The problem is that if IMA is enabled we need to
know information about the number of readers and the number of writers
for every inode on the box.  At the moment we collect that information
in the per inode iint structure and waste the rest of the space.  This
patch moves those counters into the struct inode so we can eventually
stop allocating an IMA integrity structure except when absolutely
needed.

This patch does the minimum needed to move the location of the data.
Further cleanups, especially the location of counter updates, may still
be possible.
