SYNOPSIS
size[4] Tfsync tag[2] fid[4] datasync[4]
size[4] Rfsync tag[2]
DESCRIPTION
The Tfsync transaction transfers ("flushes") all modified in-core data of
file identified by fid to the disk device (or other permanent storage
device) where that file resides.
If datasync flag is specified data will be fleshed but does not flush
modified metadata unless that metadata is needed in order to allow a
subsequent data retrieval to be correctly handled.

readv & writev, read & write respectively from the current offset
of the file & hence their use has to be preceeded by a call to lseek.
preadv/writev can be used instead, as they take the offset as an argument.
This saves one system call( lseek ).
In case preadv is not supported, it is implemented by an lseek
followed by a readv. Depending upon the configuration of QEMU, the
appropriate read & write methods are selected. This patch also fixes the
zero byte read/write bug & obviates the need to apply a fix for that bug separately.

This is equivalent to SM_PASSTHROUGH security model.
The only exception is, failure of privilige operation like chown
are ignored. This makes a passthrough like security model usable

TXATTRCREATE: Prepare a fid for setting xattr value on a file system object.
size[4] TXATTRCREATE tag[2] fid[4] name[s] attr_size[8] flags[4]
size[4] RXATTRWALK tag[2]
txattrcreate gets a fid pointing to xattr. This fid can later be
used to get set the xattr value.
flag value is derived from set Linux setxattr. The manpage says
"The flags parameter can be used to refine the semantics of the operation.
XATTR_CREATE specifies a pure create, which fails if the named attribute
exists already. XATTR_REPLACE specifies a pure replace operation, which
fails if the named attribute does not already exist. By default (no flags),
the extended attribute will be created if need be, or will simply replace
the value if the attribute exists."
The actual setxattr operation happens when the fid is clunked. At that point
the written byte count and the attr_size specified in TXATTRCREATE should be
same otherwise an error will be returned.

TXATTRWALK: Descend a ATTR namespace
size[4] TXATTRWALK tag[2] fid[4] newfid[4] name[s]
size[4] RXATTRWALK tag[2] size[8]
txattrwalk gets a fid pointing to xattr. This fid can later be
used to get read the xattr value. If name is NULL the fid returned
can be used to get the list of extended attribute associated to
the file system object.

Current code resets file's atime to 0 when there is a change in mtime.
This results in resetting the atime to "1970-01-01 05:30:00". For
example, truncate -s 0 filename results in changing the mtime to the
truncate time, but resets the atime to "1970-01-01 05:30:00". utime
system call does not have any provision to set only mtime or atime. So
change v9fs_wstat_post_chmod function to use utimensat function to change
the atime and mtime fields. If tv_nsec field is set to the special value
"UTIME_OMIT", corresponding file time stamp is not updated.

Mapped mode stores extended attributes in the user space of the extended
attributes. Given that the user space extended attributes are available
to regular files only, special files are created as regular files on the
fileserver and appropriate mode bits are added to the extended attributes.
This method presents all special files and symlinks as regular files on the
fileserver while they are represented as special files on the guest mount.

This method presents all special files and symlinks as regular files on the

Implemntation of symlink in mapped security model:
A regular file is created and the link target is written to it.
readlink() reads it back from the file.
On Guest/Client:

On Host/Fileserver:
-rw-------. 1 root root 6 2010-05-11 09:20 asymlink

Under passthrough model, it just calls underlying symlink() readlink()
system calls are used.
Under both security models, client user credentials are changed
after the filesystem objec creation.

In the mapped security model, VirtFS server intercepts and maps
the file object create and get/set attribute requests. Files on the fileserver
will be created with VirtFS servers (QEMU) user credentials and the
client-users credentials are stored in extended attributes. On the request
to get attributes, server extracts the client-users credentials
from extended attributes and sends them to the client.
