Huh? It goes without saying that I've compiled and run this, and never
seen this problem. struct qstr does have a len member, though it's
hidden inside an anonymous struct inside an anonymous union. But at
least my gcc (4.9) has no problem with those initializers - and
fs/dcache.c happily accesses name->len all the time (how else would one
get at the member). Also note the lack of 0day complaints. What tool
gave that error?

Also confused.
