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.

2006-01-08[PATCH] v9fs: handle kthread_create failure, minor bugfixesLatchesar Ionkov
- remove unnecessary -ENOMEM assignments - return correct value when buf_check_size for second time in a buffer - handle failures when create_workqueue and kthread_create are called - use kzalloc instead of kmalloc/memset 0 - v9fs_str_copy and v9fs_str_compare were buggy, were used only in one place, correct the logic and move it to the place it is used.

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.
