* while rototilling, convert file systems which went easily to
use VFS_PROTOS() instead of manually prototyping the methods
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.
MNT_FORCE is given
* decrease cargo cult index by getting rid of commented sections
with mntflushbuf() in them - AFAICT the call was removed from our
kernel over 13 years ago with the 4.4BSDlite import
corresponding flags.
Revert softdep_trackbufs() to its state before vn_start_write() was added.
Remove from struct mount now unneeded flags IMNT_SUSPEND* and
members mnt_writeopcountupper, mnt_writeopcountlower and mnt_leaf.
Welcome to 4.99.17
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).
- Remove all NFS related stuff from file system specific code.
- Drop the vfs_checkexp hook and generalize it in the new nfs_check_export
function, thus removing redundancy from all file systems.
- Move all NFS export-related stuff from kern/vfs_subr.c to the new
file sys/nfs/nfs_export.c. The former was becoming large and its code
is always compiled, regardless of the build options. Using the latter,
the code is only compiled in when NFSSERVER is enabled. While doing this,
also make some functions in nfs_subs.c conditional to NFSSERVER.
- Add a new command in nfssvc(2), called NFSSVC_SETEXPORTSLIST, that takes a
path and a set of export entries. At the moment it can only clear the
exports list or append entries, one by one, but it is done in a way that
allows setting the whole set of entries atomically in the future (see the
comment in mountd_set_exports_list or in doc/TODO).
- Change mountd(8) to use the nfssvc(2) system call instead of mount(2) so
that it becomes file system agnostic. In fact, all this whole thing was
done to remove a 'XXX' block from this utility!
- Change the mount*, newfs and fsck* userland utilities to not deal with NFS
exports initialization; done internally by the kernel when initializing
the NFS support for each file system.
- Implement an interface for VFS (called VFS hooks) so that several kernel
subsystems can run arbitrary code upon receipt of specific VFS events.
At the moment, this only provides support for unmount and is used to
destroy NFS exports lists from the file systems being unmounted, though it
has room for extension.
Thanks go to yamt@, chs@, thorpej@, wrstuden@ and others for their comments
and advice in the development of this patch.
into the "vfsops" link set.
- Use VFS_ATTACH() where vfsops are declared for individual file systems.
- In vfsinit(), traverse the "vfsops" link set, rather than vfs_list_initial[].
through a layered file system.
Note: we don't actually support snapshots through a layered file system,
and this routine returns an error. However we: 1) have clearly documented
what needs fixing (which isn't trivial to fix) and 2) if we do fix
this, all layered file systems can take advantage of it at once.
fix for layered-file-removal. It will work for the case of accessing
and deleting a file through the layered file system. Accessing via
the layer and deleting on the underlying still won't work, nor will
accessing via complicated structures (like two umap layers over a
given file systems).
We still need VOP_UPCALL(), but this is better than things were before.
This patch has been discussed off & on for a while. This incarnation
was tested by hannken at netbsd dot org.
- Not enabled by default. Needs kernel option FFS_SNAPSHOT.
- Change parameters of ffs_blkfree.
- Let the copy-on-write functions return an error so spec_strategy
may fail if the copy-on-write fails.
- Change genfs_*lock*() to use vp->v_vnlock instead of &vp->v_lock.
- Add flag B_METAONLY to VOP_BALLOC to return indirect block buffer.
- Add a function ffs_checkfreefile needed for snapshot creation.
- Add special handling of snapshot files:
Snapshots may not be opened for writing and the attributes are read-only.
Use the mtime as the time this snapshot was taken.
Deny mtime updates for snapshot files.
- Add function transferlockers to transfer any waiting processes from
one lock to another.
- Add vfsop VFS_SNAPSHOT to take a snapshot and make it accessible through
a vnode.
- Add snapshot support to ls, fsck_ffs and dump.
Welcome to 2.0F.

and tweak lkminit_*.c (where applicable) to call them, and to call
sysctl_teardown() when being unloaded.
This consists of (1) making setup functions not be static when being
compiled as lkms (change to sys/sysctl.h), (2) making prototypes
visible for the various setup functions in header files (changes to
various header files), and (3) making simple "load" and "unload"
functions in the actual lkminit stuff.
linux_sysctl.c also needs its root exposed (ie, made not static) for
this (when built as an lkm).

the arguments of some calls, I will do those separately (later) as
they touch a lot more of the system.

VOP_STRATEGY(bp) is replaced by one of two new functions:
- VOP_STRATEGY(vp, bp) Call the strategy routine of vp for bp.
- DEV_STRATEGY(bp) Call the d_strategy routine of bp->b_dev for bp.
DEV_STRATEGY(bp) is used only for block-to-block device situations.
Gone are the old kern_sysctl(), cpu_sysctl(), hw_sysctl(),
vfs_sysctl(), etc, routines, along with sysctl_int() et al. Now all
nodes are registered with the tree, and nodes can be added (or
removed) easily, and I/O to and from the tree is handled generically.
Since the nodes are registered with the tree, the mapping from name to
number (and back again) can now be discovered, instead of having to be
hard coded. Adding new nodes to the tree is likewise much simpler --
the new infrastructure handles almost all the work for simple types,
and just about anything else can be done with a small helper function.
All existing nodes are where they were before (numerically speaking),
so all existing consumers of sysctl information should notice no
difference.
PS - I'm sorry, but there's a distinct lack of documentation at the
moment. I'm working on sysctl(3/8/9) right now, and I promise to
watch out for buses.
* Remove the "lwp *" argument that was added to vget(). Turns out
that nothing actually used it!
* Remove the "lwp *" arguments that were added to VFS_ROOT(), VFS_VGET(),
and VFS_FHTOVP(); all they did was pass it to vget() (which, as noted
above, didn't use it).
* Remove all of the "lwp *" arguments to internal functions that were added
just to appease the above.
be inserted into ktrace records. The general change has been to replace
"struct proc *" with "struct lwp *" in various function prototypes, pass
the lwp through and use l_proc to get the process pointer when needed.
Bump the kernel rev up to 1.6V
- Under chroot it displays only the visible filesystems with appropriate paths.
- The statfs f_mntonname gets adjusted to contain the real path from root.
- While was there, fixed a bug in ext2fs, locking problems with vfs_getfsstat(),
and factored out some of the vfsop statfs() code to copy_statfs_info(). This
fixes the problem where some filesystems forgot to set fsid.
- Made coda look more like a normal fs.
adjusted via sysctl. file systems that have hash tables which are
sized based on the value of this variable now resize those hash tables
using the new value. the max number of FFS softdeps is also recalculated.

their hash tables.
in vfs_detach(). vfs_done may free global filesystem's resources,
typically those allocated in respective filesystem's init function.
Needed so those filesystems which went in via LKM have a chance to
clean after themselves before unloading. This fixes random panics
when LKM for filesystem using pools was loaded and unloaded several
times.
For each leaf filesystem, add appropriate vfs_done routine.
