Hmm, Am I calculating wrongly? When it reaches to nr_shm_borrowers, it requires 4 bytes-aligned, and if it is 16 characters, it will ask extra 3 bytes to do the padding(8 + 8 + 1 + 16 + "3"). This is the reason why I chose 19, to make use of every byte. Or maybe 16 characters is applied to be the multiple orders of 2, which has more flexibility for newly added field? Just out of curiosity why you choose 16 over 19, hope it doesn't bother too much~ > > > "255" as a string would match Linux's requirements for xen,id. > > > > I will use your example "my-shm-mem-1", I think its better for users > > to understand, at least for me... > > +1
