commit_metadata export operation replacing nfsd_sync_dir

2010-02-20T21:13:44+00:00

- Add commit_metadata export_operation to allow the underlying filesystem to
decide how to commit an inode most efficiently.

- Usage of nfsd_sync_dir and write_inode_now has been replaced with the
commit_metadata function that takes a svc_fh.

- The commit_metadata function calls the commit_metadata export_op if it's
there, or else falls back to sync_inode instead of fsync and write_inode_now
because only metadata need be synced here.

- nfsd4_sync_rec_dir now uses vfs_fsync so that commit_metadata can be static

nfs: new subdir Documentation/filesystems/nfs

We're adding enough nfs documentation that it may as well have its own
subdirectory.

Use a zero sized array for raw field in struct fid

2008-04-23T20:13:42+00:00

The raw field's size can vary so we use a zero sized array since
gcc will not allow a variable sized array inside a union. This
has been tested with ext3 and gfs2 and relates to the bug

struct export_operations: adjust comments to match current members

2008-03-14T16:49:57+00:00

The comments in the definition of struct export_operations don't match the
current members.

Add a comment for the 2 new functions and remove 2 comments for unused ones.

exportfs: update documentation

2007-10-22T15:13:21+00:00

Update documentation to the current state of affairs.  Remove duplicated
method descruptions in exportfs.h and point to Documentation/filesystems/
Exporting instead.  Add a little file header comment in expfs.c describing
what's going on and mentioning Neils and my copyright [1].

exportfs: add new methods

2007-10-22T15:13:19+00:00

Add the guts for the new filesystem API to exportfs.

There's now a fh_to_dentry method that returns a dentry for the object looked
for given a filehandle fragment, and a fh_to_parent operation that returns the
dentry for the encoded parent directory in case the file handle contains it.

There are default implementations for these methods that only take a callback
for an nfs-enhanced iget variant and implement the rest of the semantics.

exportfs: add fid type

2007-10-22T15:13:19+00:00

This patchset is a medium scale rewrite of the export operations interface.
The goal is to make the interface less complex, and easier to understand from
the filesystem side, aswell as preparing generic support for exporting of
64bit inode numbers.

This touches all nfs exporting filesystems, and I've done testing on all of
the filesystems I have here locally (xfs, ext2, ext3, reiserfs, jfs)

This patch:

Add a structured fid type so that we don't have to pass an array of u32 values
around everywhere.  It's a union of possible layouts.

As a start there's only the u32 array and the traditional 32bit inode format,
but there will be more in one of my next patchset when I start to document the
various filehandle formats we have in lowlevel filesystems better.

Also add an enum that gives the various filehandle types human- readable
names.

Note: Some people might think the struct containing an anonymous union is
ugly, but I didn't want to pass around a raw union type.
