Indeed, and there's at least one reference in the Linux kernel source to a lengthy Google+ comment thread on one of Linus's posts there, regarding the magic behind the implementation of the 32-bit and 64-bit variants of the count_masked_bytes() function used in the little-endian implementation of find_zero(), which is called, I believe, when hashing and comparing dentry names while walking file paths.

One hopes this and similar historical conversations on Google+ can be preserved somewhere for posterity, with the comments intact. My quick glance through the Internet Archive snapshot of the thread mentioned above suggests the archive copy lacks most of the 124 comments, where the meat of the discussion took place, but I may be mistaken (and I certainly hope so!)
