      proc: make struct proc_dir_entry::name a terminal array rather than a pointer · 09570f91
      David Howells 提交于
      Since __proc_create() appends the name it is given to the end of the PDE
      structure that it allocates, there isn't a need to store a name pointer.
      Instead we can just replace the name pointer with a terminal char array of
      _unspecified_ length.  The compiler will simply append the string to statically
      defined variables of PDE type overlapping any hole at the end of the structure
      and, unlike specifying an explicitly _zero_ length array, won't give a warning
      if you try to statically initialise it with a string of more than zero length.
      
      Also, whilst we're at it:
      
       (1) Move namelen to end just prior to name and reduce it to a single byte
           (name shouldn't be longer than NAME_MAX).
      
       (2) Move pde_unload_lock two places further on so that if it's four bytes in
           size on a 64-bit machine, it won't cause an unused hole in the PDE struct.
