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!).
the precision of getnanotime() is not suitable for file timestamps.
esp. when it's nfs-exported.
- introduce vfs_timestamp().
(the name is from freebsd. currently merely a wrapper of nanotime())
- for ufs-like filesystems, use it rather than getnanotime().
XXX check other filesystems.
- 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)
- further reading:

- use vmspace rather than proc or lwp where appropriate.
the latter is more natural to specify an address space.
(and less likely to be abused for random purposes.)
- fix a swdmover race.
- for structure fields that are conditionally present,
make those fields always present.
- for functions which are conditionally inline, make them never inline.
- remove some other functions which are conditionally defined but
don't actually do anything anymore.
- make a lock-debugging function conditional on only LOCKDEBUG.
as discussed on tech-kern some time back.
- 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.
if the filesystem is not compiled in the kernel still links. Probably
a better solution is to use weak symbols.
- move the filesystem-specific itime macros to the filesystem header files.
from macros to real functions. Original patch and review from chuq.
Note: ext2fs only keeps seconds in the on-disk inode, and msdosfs does not
have enough precision for all fields, so this is not very useful for those
two.
we change the size of the inode, and use ext2fs_size uniformly.
This fixes a crash that occurs when I create a directory, then
move it, all on an ext2 filesystem.
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[].
Like Linux, automagically convert old filesystem to use this,
if they are already at revision 1.
For revision 0, just punt (unlike Linux; makes me a bit too nervous.)
There should be an option to fsck_ext2fs to upgrade revision 0 to revision 1.
Reviewd by Manuel (bouyer@).
this means we can no longer look at the vnode size to determine how many
pages to request in a fault, which is good since for NFS the size can change
out from under us on the server anyway. there's also a new flag UBC_UNMAP
for ubc_release(), so that the file system code can make the decision about
whether to cache mappings for files being used as executables.
foo_mountfs() to foo_mount(), to match the new mountroot API.
Also, for ext2fs and lfs, copy some restructuring from ffs to allow changing
file system parameters without specifying the device name.
(ntfs could use some more work.)
and just passes it on to the file system functions. This avoids opening and
closing the device several times.
Mentioned on tech-kern some time ago, IIRC. I've been running this for a
long time.
top bit in block addresses.
Also, change some daddr_t->int32_t casts (mostly as arguments to ufs_rw32(),
where they would get promoted anyway) to u_int32_t.
