2008-05-149p: Documentation updatesEric Van Hensbergen
The kernel-doc comments of much of the 9p system have been in disarray since reorganization. This patch fixes those problems, adds additional documentation and a template book which collects the 9p information. 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).

2007-01-26[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>
