      aufs: intro, public header · 78ac643d

      A header file for both of kernelspace and userspace.
      
      For the new file fs/aufs/Kconfig, the maximum number of branches is
      customizable, and it determines the type (size) of 'aufs_bindex_t.' The
      type is always 'signed.' If we made it 'unsigned,' then more branches
      would be available. But generally I think 127 (default) is enough and it
      won't be a big issue.
      
      For those who wants more than 127 branches, other values are
      available. But we should care the size of the internal pointer arrays,
      and it is good for the performance to keep it in a page at most.
      AUFS_BRANCH_MAX_511 is mainly for 64bit systems which limits the
      internal array size less than 4k (511 x 8bytes < 4k). Similarly for
      32bit systems, AUFS_BRANCH_MAX_1023 (1023 x 4 bytes < 4k).
