2005-10-18NFSv4: Fix a potential CLOSE raceTrond Myklebust
Once the state_owner and lock_owner semaphores get removed, it will be possible for other OPEN requests to reopen the same file if they have lower sequence ids than our CLOSE call. This patch ensures that we recheck the file state once nfs_wait_on_sequence() has completed waiting. Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com>
2005-10-18NFSv4: Add functions to order RPC callsTrond Myklebust
NFSv4 file state-changing functions such as OPEN, CLOSE, LOCK,... are all labelled with "sequence identifiers" in order to prevent the server from reordering RPC requests, as this could cause its file state to become out of sync with the client. Currently the NFS client code enforces this ordering locally using semaphores to restrict access to structures until the RPC call is done. This, of course, only works with synchronous RPC calls, since the user process must first grab the semaphore. By dropping semaphores, and instead teaching the RPC engine to hold the RPC calls until they are ready to be sent, we can extend this process to work nicely with asynchronous RPC calls too. This patch adds a new list called "rpc_sequence" that defines the order of the RPC calls to be sent. We add one such list for each state_owner. When an RPC call is ready to be sent, it checks if it is top of the rpc_sequence list. If so, it proceeds. If not, it goes back to sleep, and loops until it hits top of the list. Once the RPC call has completed, it can then bump the sequence id counter, and remove itself from the rpc_sequence list, and then wake up the next sleeper. Note that the state_owner sequence ids and lock_owner sequence ids are all indexed to the same rpc_sequence list, so OPEN, LOCK,... requests are all ordered w.r.t. each other.

2005-06-22[PATCH] NFS: Add support for NFSv3 ACLsAndreas Gruenbacher
This adds acl support fo nfs clients via the NFSACL protocol extension, by implementing the getxattr, listxattr, setxattr, and removexattr iops for the system.posix_acl_access and system.posix_acl_default attributes. This patch implements a dumb version that uses no caching (and thus adds some overhead). (Another patch in this patchset adds caching as well.)

2005-06-22[PATCH] NFS: Allow NFS versions to support different sets of inode operations.J. Bruce Fields
ACL support will require supporting additional inode operations in v4 (getxattr, setxattr, listxattr). This patch allows different protocol versions to support different inode operations by adding a file_inode_ops to the nfs_rpc_ops (to match the existing dir_inode_ops). Signed-off-by: J.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
