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.
PR/33861 from Jed Davis. he provided the almost same patch.
according to him, it also happen to be what opensolaris does in this case.
from the PR:
> In nfs_rename(), if the destination appears to exist and is "in use"
> (this check is apparently satisfied even if the file isn't in use by
> anything except the rename itself), it will sillyrename it, then delete
> the sillyrenamed file even if the rename fails -- for instance, because
> the "from" file no longer exists on the server.
> mkdir a b; touch a/x; perl -e 'fork(); rename("a/x","b/x") or die "$!\n"'
>
> Afterwards, neither a/x nor b/x will exist.
> 1) Lookup of b/x; fails with NOENT.
> 2) Rename from a/x to b/x; succeeds.
> 3) Lookup of b/x; fails with NOENT.
> 4) Rename from b/x to b/.nfsA23a3; succeeds.
> 5) Rename from a/x to b/x; fails with NOENT.
> 6) Remove of b/.nfsA23a3; succeeds.
- struct timeval time is gone
time.tv_sec -> time_second
- struct timeval mono_time is gone
mono_time.tv_sec -> time_uptime
- access to time via
{get,}{micro,nano,bin}time()
get* versions are fast but less precise
- support NTP nanokernel implementation (NTP API 4)
