  • bd_prepare_to_claim() incorrectly allowed multiple attempts for
    exclusive open to progress in parallel if the attempting holders are
    identical. This triggered BUG_ON() as reported in the following bug.

    https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16393

    __bd_abort_claiming() is used to finish claiming blocks and doesn't
    work if multiple openers are inside a claiming block. Allowing
    multiple parallel open attempts to continue doesn't gain anything as
    those are serialized down in the call chain anyway. Fix it by always
    allowing only single open attempt in a claiming block.

    This problem can easily be reproduced by adding a delay after
    bd_prepare_to_claim() and attempting to mount two partitions of a
    disk.

    The Tlreate request asks the file server to create a new regular file with the

    The mode argument specifies the permissions to use. New file is created with
    the uid if the fid and with supplied gid.

    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] 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.
