[PATCH] v9fs: fix overzealous dropping of dentry which breaks dcache

2006-03-17T15:51:25+00:00

There is a d_drop in dir_release which caused problems as it invalidates
dcache entries too soon.  This was likely a part of the wierd cwd behavior
folks were seeing.

[PATCH] v9fs: simplify fid mapping

2006-03-02T16:33:07+00:00

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.

[PATCH] v9fs: fix bug in atomic create open fix

2006-03-02T16:33:07+00:00

Lucho's atomic create+open fix had a bug in the super block initialization
causing all mounts to fail.  He was freeing an fcall too early.  This patch
fixes that oversight.

[PATCH] v9fs: fix atomic create open

2006-03-02T16:33:07+00:00

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.

[PATCH] v9fs: update documentation and fix debug flag

2006-02-21T04:00:11+00:00

Minor updates to the documentation to bring them into sync with current
websites and available features.  The debug flag was switched back to hex
to match the documentation.

[PATCH] v9fs: fix corner cases when flushing request

2006-02-03T16:32:06+00:00

When v9fs_mux_rpc sends a 9P message, it may be put in the queue of unsent
request.  If the user process receives a signal, v9fs_mux_rpc sets the
request error to ERREQFLUSH and assigns NULL to request's send message.  If
the message was still in the unsent queue, v9fs_write_work would produce an
oops while processing it.

The patch makes sure that requests that are being flushed are moved to the
pending requests queue safely.

If a request is being flushed, don't remove it from the list of pending
requests even if it receives a reply before the flush is acknoledged.  The
request will be removed during from the Rflush handler (v9fs_mux_flush_cb).

[PATCH] v9fs: v9fs_put_str fix

2006-02-03T16:32:06+00:00

v9fs_put_str used to store pointer to the source string, instead of the
cbuf copy.  This patch corrects it.

symlink name, v9fs_vfs_follow_link incorrectly called strlen of newly
allocated buffer instead of PATH_MAX.

[PATCH] v9fs: add readpage support

2006-01-19T03:20:22+00:00

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.
