2008-02-069p: fix bug in attach-per-userEric Van Hensbergen
When a new user attached at a directory other than the root, he would end up in the parent directory of the cwd. This was due to a logic error in the code which attaches the user at the mount point and walks back to the cwd. This patch fixes that. Signed-off-by: Eric Van Hensbergen <ericvh@gmail.com>
2007-10-179p: attach-per-userLatchesar Ionkov
The 9P2000 protocol requires the authentication and permission checks to be done in the file server. For that reason every user that accesses the file server tree has to authenticate and attach to the server separately. Multiple users can share the same connection to the server. Currently v9fs does a single attach and executes all I/O operations as a single user. This makes using v9fs in multiuser environment unsafe as it depends on the client doing the permission checking. This patch improves the 9P2000 support by allowing every user to attach separately. The patch defines three modes of access (new mount option 'access'): - attach-per-user (access=user) (default mode for 9P2000.u) If a user tries to access a file served by v9fs for the first time, v9fs sends an attach command to the server (Tattach) specifying the user. If the attach succeeds, the user can access the v9fs tree. As there is no uname->uid (string->integer) mapping yet, this mode works only with the 9P2000.u dialect. - allow only one user to access the tree (access=<uid>) Only the user with uid can access the v9fs tree. Other users that attempt to access it will get EPERM error. - do all operations as a single user (access=any) (default for 9P2000) V9fs does a single attach and all operations are done as a single user. If this mode is selected, the v9fs behavior is identical with the current one. Signed-off-by: Latchesar Ionkov <lucho@ionkov.net> Signed-off-by: Eric Van Hensbergen <ericvh@gmail.com>
2007-08-239p: remove deprecated v9fs_fid_lookup_remove()Eric Van Hensbergen
This patch removes the v9fs_fid_lookup_remove which is no longer used. Based on original patch from Adrian Bunk <bunk@stusta.de> which used #if 0 to isolate the code. Signed-off-by: Adrian Bunk <bunk@stusta.de> Signed-off-by: Eric Van Hensbergen <ericvh@gmail.com>
2007-07-149p: Reorganization of 9p file system codeLatchesar Ionkov
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 Hensbergen
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>
2007-01-26[PATCH] 9p: fix segfault caused by race condition in meta-data operationsEric Van Hensbergen
Running dbench multithreaded exposed a race condition where fid structures were removed while in use. This patch adds semaphores to meta-data operations to protect the fid structure. Some cleanup of error-case handling in the inode operations is also included.

2006-03-02[PATCH] v9fs: simplify fid mappingEric Van Hensbergen
v9fs has been plagued by an over-complicated approach trying to map Linux dentry semantics to Plan 9 fid semantics. Our previous approach called for aggressive flushing of the dcache resulting in several problems (including wierd cwd behavior when running /bin/pwd). This patch dramatically simplifies our handling of this fid management. Fids will not be clunked as promptly, but the new approach is more functionally correct. We now clunk un-open fids only when their dentry ref_count reaches 0 (and d_delete is called). Another simplification is we no longer seek to match fids to the process-id or uid of the action initiator. The uid-matching will need to be revisited when we fix the security model.

2006-03-02[PATCH] v9fs: fix atomic create openLatchesar Ionkov
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.

2005-09-28[PATCH] v9fs: fix races in fid allocationLatchesar Ionkov
Fid management cleanup. The patch attempts to fix the races in dentry's fid management. Dentries don't keep the opened fids anymore, they are moved to the file structs. Ideally there should be no more than one fid with fidcreate equal to zero in the dentry's list of fids. v9fs_fid_create initializes the important fields (fid, fidcreated) before v9fs_fid is added to the list. v9fs_fid_lookup returns only fids that are not created by v9fs_create. v9fs_fid_get_created returns the fid created by the same process by v9fs_create (if any) and removes it from dentry's list Signed-off-by: Latchesar Ionkov <lucho@ionkov.net> Cc: Eric Van Hensbergen <ericvh@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
