* 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.
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 sure that kernel only files don't compile in userland using #error
- XXX: some kernel only files still get installed.
- XXX: some files used in userland, don't get installed.
- 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.
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).
no longer use and/or need it
- removed casts from unionfs, deadfs and fdesc
(there are more to hunt down still)
- changed vfs_quotactl args argumet from caddr_t to void *
- changed vfs_quotactl structures/callers to reflect the api change
Compiled fine and ran for about a day. Approved/reviewed by
christos@netbsd.org and gimpy@netbsd.org.
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.
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
malloc types into a structure, a pointer to which is passed around,
instead of an int constant. Allow the limit to be adjusted when the
malloc type is defined, or with a function call, as suggested by
Jonathan Stone.
