  • unlinkat - Remove a directory entry

    older Tremove have the below request format

    size[4] Tremove tag[2] fid[4]

    The remove message is used to remove a directory entry either file or directory
    The remove opreation is actually a directory opertation and should ideally have
    dirfid, if not we cannot represent the fid on server with anything other than
    name. We will have to derive the directory name from fid in the Tremove request.

    NOTE: The operation doesn't clunk the unlink fid.

    - A uint8_t type was mixed in, change it to u8 to match
    with the rest of the type names and remove dependency.

  • If a transport prefers payload to be sent separate from the PDU
    (P9_TRANS_PREF_PAYLOAD_SEP), there is no need to allocate msize
    PDU buffers(struct p9_fcall).

    This patch allocates only upto 4k buffers for this kind of transports
    and there won't be any change to the legacy transports.

    Hence, this patch on top of zero copy changes allows user to
    specify higher msizes through the mount option
    without hogging the kernel heap.

  • 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] RXATTRCREATE tag[2]

    txattrcreate gets a fid pointing to xattr. This fid can later be
    used to 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.

    The mode argument specifies the permissions to use. New file is created with

    The flags argument represent Linux access mode flags with which the caller
    is requesting to open the file with. Protocol allows all the Linux access
    modes but it is upto the server to allow/disallow any of these acess modes.
    If the server doesn't support any of the access mode, it is expected to
    return error.

    size[4] Tsetattr tag[2] attr[n]

    size[4] Rsetattr tag[2]

    DESCRIPTION

    The setattr command changes some of the file status information.
    attr resembles the iattr structure used in Linux kernel. It
    specifies which status parameter is to be changed and to what
    value. It is laid out as follows:

    valid[4]
    specifies which status information is to be changed. Possible
    values are:
    ATTR_MODE (1 << 0)
    ATTR_UID (1 << 1)
    ATTR_GID (1 << 2)
    ATTR_SIZE (1 << 3)
    ATTR_ATIME (1 << 4)
    ATTR_MTIME (1 << 5)
    ATTR_ATIME_SET (1 << 7)
    ATTR_MTIME_SET (1 << 8)

    The last two bits represent whether the time information
    is being sent by the client's user space. In the absense
    of these bits the server always uses server's time.

    mode[4]
    File permission bits

    uid[4]
    Owner id of file

    gid[4]
    Group id of the file

    size[8]
    File size

    atime_sec[8]
    Time of last file access, seconds

    atime_nsec[8]
    Time of last file access, nanoseconds

    mtime_sec[8]
    Time of last file modification, seconds

    mtime_nsec[8]
    Time of last file modification, nanoseconds

    Explanation of the patches:
    --------------------------

    *) The kernel just copies relevent contents of iattr structure to
    p9_iattr_dotl structure and passes it down to the client. The
    only check it has is calling inode_change_ok()
    *) The p9_iattr_dotl structure does not have ctime and ia_file
    parameters because I don't think these are needed in our case.
    The client user space can request updating just ctime by calling
    chown(fd, -1, -1). This is handled on server side without a need
    for putting ctime on the wire.
    *) The server currently supports changing mode, time, ownership and
    size of the file.
    *) 9P RFC says "Either all the changes in wstat request happen, or
    none of them does: if the request succeeds, all changes were made;
    if it fails, none were."
    I have not done anything to implement this specifically because I
    don't see a reason.

    This patch implements the client side of getattr implementation for
    9P2000.L. It introduces a new structure p9_stat_dotl for getting
    Linux stat information along with QID. The data layout is similar to
    stat structure in Linux user space with the following major
    differences:

    inode (st_ino) is not part of data. Instead qid is.

    device (st_dev) is not part of data because this doesn't make sense
    on the client.

    All time variables are 64 bit wide on the wire. The kernel seems to use
    32 bit variables for these variables. However, some of the architectures
    have used 64 bit variables and glibc exposes 64 bit variables to user
    space on some architectures. Hence to be on the safer side we have made
    these 64 bit in the protocol. Refer to the comments in
    include/asm-generic/stat.h

    There are some additional fields: st_btime_sec, st_btime_nsec, st_gen,
    st_data_version apart from the bitmask, st_result_mask. The bit mask
    is filled by the server to indicate which stat fields have been
    populated by the server. Currently there is no clean way for the
    server to obtain these additional fields, so it sends back just the
    basic fields.

  • This patch implements the kernel part of readdir() implementation for 9p2000.L

    Change from V3: Instead of inode, server now sends qids for each dirent

    SYNOPSIS

    size[4] Treaddir tag[2] fid[4] offset[8] count[4]
    size[4] Rreaddir tag[2] count[4] data[count]

    DESCRIPTION

    The readdir request asks the server to read the directory specified by 'fid'
    at an offset specified by 'offset' and return as many dirent structures as
    possible that fit into count bytes. Each dirent structure is laid out as
    follows.

    qid.type[1]
    the type of the file (directory, etc.), represented as a bit
    vector corresponding to the high 8 bits of the file's mode
    word.

    qid.vers[4]
    version number for given path

    qid.path[8]
    the file server's unique identification for the file

    offset[8]
    offset into the next dirent.

    type[1]
    type of this directory entry.

    name[256]
    name of this directory entry.

    This patch adds v9fs_dir_readdir_dotl() as the readdir() call for 9p2000.L.
    This function sends P9_TREADDIR command to the server. In response the server
    sends a buffer filled with dirent structures. This is different from the
    existing v9fs_dir_readdir() call which receives stat structures from the server.
    This results in significant speedup of readdir() on large directories.
    For example, doing 'ls >/dev/null' on a directory with 10000 files on my
    laptop takes 1.088 seconds with the existing code, but only takes 0.339 seconds
    with the new readdir.

  • I made a V2 of this patch on top of my patches for VFS switches.
    All the changes were due to change in some offsets.

    rename - change name of file or directory

    size[4] Trename tag[2] fid[4] newdirfid[4] name[s]
    size[4] Rrename tag[2]

    The rename message is used to change the name of a file, possibly moving it
    to a new directory. The 9P wstat message can only rename a file within the
    same directory.

  • I made a V2 of this patch on top of my patches for VFS switches. The
    change was adding v9fs_statfs pointer to v9fs_super_ops_dotl
    instead of v9fs_super_ops.

    statfs - get file system statistics

    size[4] Tstatfs tag[2] fid[4]
    size[4] Rstatfs tag[2] type[4] bsize[4] blocks[8] bfree[8] bavail[8]
    files[8] ffree[8] fsid[8] namelen[4]

    The statfs message is used to request file system information returned
    by the statfs(2) system call, which is used by df(1) to report file
    system and disk space usage.
