  • Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
    makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.

    By default all files without license information are under the default
    license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.

    Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
    SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
    shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.

    This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
    Philippe Ombredanne.

    How this work was done:

    Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
    the use cases:
    - file had no licensing information it it.
    - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
    - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,

    Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
    where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
    had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.

    The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
    a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
    output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
    tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the
    base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.

    The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
    assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
    results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
    to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
    immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

    Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
    - Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
    - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
    lines of source
    - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if

  • This patch prepares p9_fcall structure for zero copy. Added
    fields send the payload buffer information to the transport layer.
    In addition it adds a 'private' field for the transport layer to
    store mapped/pinned page information so that it can be freed/unpinned
    during req_done.

    This patch also creates trans_common.[ch] to house helper functions.
    It adds the following helper functions.

    p9_release_req_pages - Release pages after the transaction.
    p9_nr_pages - Return number of pages needed to accomodate the payload.
    payload_gup - Translates user buffer into kernel pages.

  • Remove depricated conv functions which have been replaced with new
    protocol routines.

    This patch also reworks the one instance of the file-system code which
    directly calls conversion routines (to accomplish unpacking dirreads).

  • One of the current debug options allows users to get a verbose dump of fcalls.
    This isn't really necessary as correctly parsed protocol frames can be printed
    as part of the code in the client functions. The consolidated printfcalls
    structure would require new entries to be added for every extension. This
    patch removes the debug print methods and their use.

  • This adds a new protocol processing support code based on Anthony Liguori's
    9p library code. This code performs protocol marshalling/unmarshalling using
    printf like strings to represent protocol elements. It is my intent to use
    them to replace the current functions in conv.c as well as the
    p9_create_* functions.

    This should make the client implementation much more clear, and also make it
    much easier to add new protocol extensions by limiting the number of places
    in which changes need to be made.

  • There was some cleanup issues during early mount which would trigger
    a kernel bug for certain types of failure. This patch reorganizes the
    cleanup to get rid of the bad behavior.

    This also merges the 9pnet and 9pnet_fd modules for the purpose of
    configuration and initialization. Keeping the fd transport separate
    from the core 9pnet code seemed like a good idea at the time, but in
    practice has caused more harm and confusion than good.

  • This merges the mux.c (including the connection interface) with trans_fd
    in preparation for transport API changes. Ultimately, trans_fd will need
    to be rewritten to clean it up and simplify the implementation, but this
    reorganization is viewed as the first step.

  • A sysctl method was added to enable and disable debugging levels. After
    further review, it was decided that there are better approaches to doing this
    and the sysctl methodology isn't really desirable. This patch removes the
    sysctl code from 9p.

  • This patch abstracts out the interfaces to underlying transports so that
    new transports can be added as modules. This should also allow kernel
    configuration of transports without ifdef-hell.
