The general trend is to remove it from all kernel interfaces and
this is a start. In case the calling lwp is desired, curlwp should
be used.
quick consensus on tech-kern
and an ifreq.ifr_addr, respectively. Get rid of an extraneous
cast---down the elevator shaft! Change 'ireq' to 'ifr', which is
what the kernel calls a temporary struct ifreq virtually everywhere
else.
knew what it was supposed to be used for and wrstuden gave a go-ahead
* while rototilling, convert file systems which went easily to
use VFS_PROTOS() instead of manually prototyping the methods
need to understand the locking around that field. Instead of setting
B_ERROR, set b_error instead. b_error is 'owned' by whoever completes
the I/O request.
from the forwarding table's users:
Introduce rt_walktree() for walking the routing table and
applying a function to each rtentry. Replace most
rn_walktree() calls with it.
Use rt_getkey()/rt_setkey() to get/set a route's destination.
Keep a pointer to the sockaddr key in the rtentry, so that
rtentry users do not have to grovel in the radix_node for
the key.
Add a RTM_GET method to rtrequest. Use that instead of
radix_node lookups in, e.g., carp(4).
Add sys/net/link_proto.c, which supplies sockaddr routines for
link-layer socket addresses (sockaddr_dl).
Cosmetic:
Constify. KNF. Stop open-coding LIST_FOREACH, TAILQ_FOREACH,
et cetera. Use NULL instead of 0 for null pointers. Use
__arraycount(). Reduce gratuitous parenthesization.
Stop using variadic arguments for rip6_output(), it is
unnecessary.
Remove the unnecessary rtentry member rt_genmask and the
code to maintain it, since nothing actually used it.
Make rt_maskedcopy() easier to read by using meaningful variable
names.
Extract a subroutine intern_netmask() for looking up a netmask in
the masks table.
Start converting backslash-ridden IPv6 macros in
sys/netinet6/in6_var.h into inline subroutines that one
can read without special eyeglasses.
One functional change: when the kernel serves an RTM_GET, RTM_LOCK,
or RTM_CHANGE request, it applies the netmask (if supplied) to a
destination before searching for it in the forwarding table.
I have changed sys/netinet/ip_carp.c, carp_setroute(), to remove
the unlawful radix_node knowledge.
Apart from the changes to carp(4), netiso, ATM, and strip(4), I
have run the changes on three nodes in my wireless routing testbed,
which involves IPv4 + IPv6 dynamic routing acrobatics, and it's
working beautifully so far.
fs code is a kernel buffer, pass though the length of the buffer as well.
Since the length of the userspace buffer isn'it (yet) passed through the mount
system call, add a field to the vfsops structure containing the default length.
Split sys_mount() for calls from compat code.
Ride one of the recent kernel version changes - old fs LKMs will load, but
sys_mount() will reject any attempt to use them.
in 1.153 revision, where ltsleep() was replaced with condvar.
Problem found and fix provided by David A. Holland, PR/36610.
Actually, relock is not needed here, and mutex would be unlocked
only on nfs_sigintr() fail case.
nfs_bootstatic() to abort with EOPNOTSUPP. This allows a callback to
say that there is no bootstatic config, and the next NFS boot method should
be tried.
- IO_SYNC: don't bother to flush dirty pages before copying data from
user buffer.
- IO_APPEND: don't invalidate pages blindly. PR/28472 from Brian Marcotte.
- as far as i understand the code, it shouldn't be necessary
because nfs_request can't return without removing its request
and r->r_lwp is either curlwp or NULL.
- even if it's necessary, leaking requests is not the correct way
to recover from the condition.
- nfs_request: add a related assertion.
received won't be stuck in nfs_receive.
- nfs_rcvlock: check exceptions before sleeping on the lock.
- nfs_rcvunlock: use cv_broadcast rather than cv_signal to ensure that
lwps which received its reply get woken up.
avoid having to allocate space in the 'stackgap'
- which is very LWP unfriendly.
The additional code for non-emulation namei() is trivial, the reduction for
the emulations is massive.
The vnode for a processes emulation root is saved in the cwdi structure
during process exec.
If the emulation root the TRYEMULROOT flag are set, namei() will do an initial
search for absolute pathnames in the emulation root, if that fails it will
retry from the normal root.
".." at the emulation root will always go to the real root, even in the middle
of paths and when expanding symlinks.
Absolute symlinks found using absolute paths in the emulation root will be
relative to the emulation root (so /usr/lib/xxx.so -> /lib/xxx.so links
inside the emulation root don't need changing).
If the root of the emulation would be returned (for an emulation lookup), then
the real root is returned instead (matching the behaviour of emul_lookup,
but being a cheap comparison here) so that programs that scan "../.."
looking for the root dircetory don't loop forever.
The target for symbolic links is no longer mangled (it used to get the
CHECK_ALT_xxx() treatment, so could get /emul/xxx prepended).
CHECK_ALT_xxx() are no more. Most of the change is deleting them, and adding
TRYEMULROOT to the flags to NDINIT().
A lot of the emulation system call stubs could now be deleted.
- don't use SAVESTART in calls to relookup() from unionfs,
just vref() the desired vnode when we need to.
- fix locking and refcounting in the unionfs EEXIST error cases.
- release any vnode locks before calling VFS_ROOT(), vfs_busy() is enough.
this allows us to simplify union_root() and fix PR 3006.
- union_lock() doesn't handle shared lock requests correctly,
so convert them to exclusive instead. fixes PR 34775.
- in relookup(), avoid reusing "dp" for different purposes,
the error handling wasn't right. (actually just get rid of dp.)
also, change relookup() to ignore LOCKLEAF and always return the
vnode locked since the callers already expect this.
returned from nfs_namei() is not locked in this case. fixes PR 35542.
also, apply the same fix here as was made in rename_files() to handle
the case when dvp and vp are the same.
by Slava Semushin <slava.semushin@gmail.com>.
To verify that no nasty side effects of duplicate includes (or their
removal) have an effect here, I've compiled an i386/ALL kernel with
and without the patch, and the only difference in the resulting .o
files was in shifted line numbers in some assert() calls.
The comparison of the .o files was based on the output of "objdump -D".
Thanks to martin@ for the input on testing.
The suspension helpers are now put into file system specific operations.
This means every file system not supporting these helpers cannot be suspended
and therefore snapshots are no longer possible.
Implemented for file systems of type ffs.
The new API is enabled on a kernel option NEWVNGATE. This option is
not enabled by default in any kernel config.
Presented and discussed on tech-kern with much input from
Bill Studenmund <wrstuden@netbsd.org> and YAMAMOTO Takashi <yamt@netbsd.org>.
Welcome to 4.99.9 (new vfs op vfs_suspendctl).
- LOCKPARENT is no longer relevant for lookup(), relookup() or VOP_LOOKUP().
these now always return the parent vnode locked. namei() works as before.
lookup() and various other paths no longer acquire vnode locks in the
wrong order via vrele(). fixes PR 32535.
as a nice side effect, path lookup is also up to 25% faster.
- the above allows us to get rid of PDIRUNLOCK.
- also get rid of WANTPARENT (just use LOCKPARENT and unlock it).
- remove an assumption in layer_node_find() that all file systems implement
a recursive VOP_LOCK() (unionfs doesn't).
- require that all file systems supply vfs_vptofh and vfs_fhtovp routines.
fill in eopnotsupp() for file systems that don't support being exported
and remove the checks for NULL. (layerfs calls these without checking.)
- in union_lookup1(), don't change refcounts in the ISDOTDOT case, just
adjust which vnode is locked. fixes PR 33374.
- apply fixes for ufs_rename() from ufs_vnops.c rev. 1.61 to ext2fs_rename().
loops where vnodes can get removed or added during the loops. This could
lead to panic's on unmount since nodes are skipped or otherwise
TAILQ_NEXT(0xdeadbeef, ...) was dereferenced.
vnodes were synced and processed backwards. This meant that the last
accessed node was processed first and the earlierst last.
An extra benefit is the removal of the ugly hack from the Berkly days on
LFS.
In the proces, i've also replaced the various variations hand written loops
by the TAILQ_FOREACH() macro's.
be set. Linux NFS servers (at least) reset suid/sgid bits if a write
happens afterwards. Add a comment why this is done.
This fixes system builds on diskless systems for me where suid bits
were missing after install(1).
Approved by yamt.
that callers are not responsible for initializing the fields. Store the name
inside the struct instead of maintaining a pointer to external storage, or
leaked memory (nfs case).
While touching all vptofh/fhtovp functions, get rid of VFS_MAXFIDSIZ,
version the getfh(2) syscall and explicitly pass the size available in
the filehandle from userland.
Discussed on tech-kern, with lots of help from yamt (thanks!).
make sillyrename (try to) use LINK operation rather than RENAME.

according to him, it also happen to be what opensolaris does in this case.
