2010-08-029p: getattr client implementation for 9P2000.L protocol.Sripathi Kodi1-0/+1
SYNOPSIS size[4] Tgetattr tag[2] fid[4] request_mask[8] size[4] Rgetattr tag[2] lstat[n] DESCRIPTION The getattr transaction inquires about the file identified by fid. request_mask is a bit mask that specifies which fields of the stat structure is the client interested in. The reply will contain a machine-independent directory entry, laid out as follows: st_result_mask[8] Bit mask that indicates which fields in the stat structure have been populated by the server qid.type[1] the type of the file (directory, etc.), represented as a bit vector corresponding to the high 8 bits of the file's mode word. qid.vers[4] version number for given path qid.path[8] the file server's unique identification for the file st_mode[4] Permission and flags st_uid[4] User id of owner st_gid[4] Group ID of owner st_nlink[8] Number of hard links st_rdev[8] Device ID (if special file) st_size[8] Size, in bytes st_blksize[8] Block size for file system IO st_blocks[8] Number of file system blocks allocated st_atime_sec[8] Time of last access, seconds st_atime_nsec[8] Time of last access, nanoseconds st_mtime_sec[8] Time of last modification, seconds st_mtime_nsec[8] Time of last modification, nanoseconds st_ctime_sec[8] Time of last status change, seconds st_ctime_nsec[8] Time of last status change, nanoseconds st_btime_sec[8] Time of creation (birth) of file, seconds st_btime_nsec[8] Time of creation (birth) of file, nanoseconds st_gen[8] Inode generation st_data_version[8] Data version number request_mask and result_mask bit masks contain the following bits #define P9_STATS_MODE 0x00000001ULL #define P9_STATS_NLINK 0x00000002ULL #define P9_STATS_UID 0x00000004ULL #define P9_STATS_GID 0x00000008ULL #define P9_STATS_RDEV 0x00000010ULL #define P9_STATS_ATIME 0x00000020ULL #define P9_STATS_MTIME 0x00000040ULL #define P9_STATS_CTIME 0x00000080ULL #define P9_STATS_INO 0x00000100ULL #define P9_STATS_SIZE 0x00000200ULL #define P9_STATS_BLOCKS 0x00000400ULL #define P9_STATS_BTIME 0x00000800ULL #define P9_STATS_GEN 0x00001000ULL #define P9_STATS_DATA_VERSION 0x00002000ULL #define P9_STATS_BASIC 0x000007ffULL #define P9_STATS_ALL 0x00003fffULL This patch implements the client side of getattr implementation for 9P2000.L. It introduces a new structure p9_stat_dotl for getting Linux stat information along with QID. The data layout is similar to stat structure in Linux user space with the following major differences: inode (st_ino) is not part of data. Instead qid is. device (st_dev) is not part of data because this doesn't make sense on the client. All time variables are 64 bit wide on the wire. The kernel seems to use 32 bit variables for these variables. However, some of the architectures have used 64 bit variables and glibc exposes 64 bit variables to user space on some architectures. Hence to be on the safer side we have made these 64 bit in the protocol. Refer to the comments in include/asm-generic/stat.h There are some additional fields: st_btime_sec, st_btime_nsec, st_gen, st_data_version apart from the bitmask, st_result_mask. The bit mask is filled by the server to indicate which stat fields have been populated by the server. Currently there is no clean way for the server to obtain these additional fields, so it sends back just the basic fields.

2010-02-089p: Include fsync support for 9p clientM. Mohan Kumar1-0/+1
Implement the fsync in the client side by marking stat field values to 'don't touch' so that server may interpret it as a request to guarantee that the contents of the associated file are committed to stable storage before the Rwstat message is returned. Without this patch, calling fsync on a 9p file results in "Invalid argument" error. Please check the attached C program.

2009-09-239p: Add fscache support to 9pAbhishek Kulkarni1-0/+6
This patch adds a persistent, read-only caching facility for 9p clients using the FS-Cache caching backend. When the fscache facility is enabled, each inode is associated with a corresponding vcookie which is an index into the FS-Cache indexing tree. The FS-Cache indexing tree is indexed at 3 levels: - session object associated with each mount. - inode/vcookie - actual data (pages) A cache tag is chosen randomly for each session. These tags can be read off /sys/fs/9p/caches and can be passed as a mount-time parameter to re-attach to the specified caching session.

2008-10-179p: move readn meta-function from client to fs layerEric Van Hensbergen1-0/+2
There are a couple of methods in the client code which aren't actually wire operations. To keep things organized cleaner, these operations are being moved to the fs layer. This patch moves the readn meta-function (which executes multiple wire reads until a buffer is full) to the fs layer. Signed-off-by: Eric Van Hensbergen <ericvh@gmail.com>
2008-07-039p: fix O_APPEND in legacy modeEric Van Hensbergen1-1/+1
The legacy protocol's open operation doesn't handle an append operation (it is expected that the client take care of it). We were incorrectly passing the extended protocol's flag through even in legacy mode. This was reported in bugzilla report #10689. This patch fixes the problem by disallowing extended protocol open modes from being passed in legacy mode and implemented append functionality on the client side by adding a seek after the open.

2007-07-149p: Reorganization of 9p file system codeLatchesar Ionkov1-3/+3
This patchset moves non-filesystem interfaces of v9fs from fs/9p to net/9p. It moves the transport, packet marshalling and connection layers to net/9p leaving only the VFS related files in fs/9p. This work is being done in preparation for in-kernel 9p servers as well as alternate 9p clients (other than VFS).

2007-02-189p: implement optional loose read cacheEric Van Hensbergen1-0/+2
While cacheing is generally frowned upon in the 9p world, it has its place -- particularly in situations where the remote file system is exclusive and/or read-only. The vacfs views of venti content addressable store are a real-world instance of such a situation. To facilitate higher performance for these workloads (and eventually use the fscache patches), we have enabled a "loose" cache mode which does not attempt to maintain any form of consistency on the page-cache or dcache. This results in over two orders of magnitude performance improvement for cacheable block reads in the Bonnie benchmark. The more aggressive use of the dcache also seems to improve metadata operational performance. Signed-off-by: Eric Van Hensbergen <ericvh@gmail.com>

2006-03-28[PATCH] Make most file operations structs in fs/ constArjan van de Ven1-2/+2
This is a conversion to make the various file_operations structs in fs/ const. Basically a regexp job, with a few manual fixups The goal is both to increase correctness (harder to accidentally write to shared datastructures) and reducing the false sharing of cachelines with things that get dirty in .data (while .rodata is nicely read only and thus cache clean) Signed-off-by: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@infradead.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

2006-03-02[PATCH] v9fs: fix atomic create openLatchesar Ionkov1-0/+1
In order to assure atomic create+open v9fs stores the open fid produced by v9fs_vfs_create in the dentry, from where v9fs_file_open retrieves it and associates it with the open file. This patch modifies v9fs to use nameidata.intent.open values to do the atomic create+open.

2006-01-18[PATCH] v9fs: add readpage supportEric Van Hensbergen1-0/+1
v9fs mmap support was originally removed from v9fs at Al Viro's request, but recently there have been requests from folks who want readpage functionality (primarily to enable execution of files mounted via 9P). This patch adds readpage support (but not writepage which contained most of the objectionable code). It passes fsx-linux (and other regressions) so it should be relatively safe.
