2007-10-179p: fix bad kconfig cross-dependencyEric Van Hensbergen
This patch moves transport dynamic registration and matching to the net module to prevent a bad Kconfig dependency between the net and fs 9p modules. 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>
2007-10-179p: rename uid and gid parametersLatchesar Ionkov
Change the names of 'uid' and 'gid' parameters to the more appropriate 'dfltuid' and 'dfltgid'. This also sets the default uid/gid to -2 (aka nfsnobody) Signed-off-by: Latchesar Ionkov <lucho@ionkov.net> Signed-off-by: Eric Van Hensbergen <ericvh@gmail.com>

2007-10-179p: Make transports dynamicEric Van Hensbergen
This patch abstracts out the interfaces to underlying transports so that new transports can be added as modules. This should also allow kernel configuration of transports without ifdef-hell. Signed-off-by: Eric Van Hensbergen <ericvh@gmail.com>

2007-07-149p: re-enable mount time debug optionEric Van Hensbergen
During reorganization, the mount time debug option was removed in favor of module-load-time parameters. However, the mount time option is still a useful for feature during debug and for user-fault isolation when the module is compiled into the kernel.

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 bogus return code checks during initializationEric Van Hensbergen
There is a simple logic error in init_v9fs - the return code checks are reversed. This patch fixes the return code and adds some messages to prevent module initialization from failing silently.

2006-03-25[PATCH] 9p: fix name consistency problemsEric Van Hensbergen
There were a number of conflicting naming schemes used in the v9fs project. The directory was fs/9p, but MAINTAINERS and Documentation referred to v9fs. The module name itself was 9p2000, and the file system type was 9P. This patch attempts to clean that up, changing all references to 9p in order to match the directory name. We'll also start using 9p instead of v9fs as our patch prefix. There is also a minor consistency cleanup in the options changing the name option to uname in order to more closely match the Plan 9 options.

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.

2005-09-22[PATCH] v9fs: make copy of the transport prototype instead of using it directlyLatchesar Ionkov
When a new session is created it uses a template object of the specified transport type to instantiate its own copy. The code for the making a copy of the template object was lost, and the object itself is attached to the v9fs session. This leads to many sessions using the same transport instead of having their own copy. The patch puts back the code that makes a copy of the template object.
