Update documentation to the current state of affairs. Remove duplicated method descruptions in exportfs.h and point to Documentation/filesystems/ Exporting instead. Add a little file header comment in expfs.c describing what's going on and mentioning Neils and my copyright [1]. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Cc: Neil Brown <neilb@suse.de> Cc: "J.

/**
|
|
* struct export_operations - for nfsd to communicate with file systems
|
|
* @decode_fh: decode a file handle fragment and return a &struct dentry
|
|
* @encode_fh: encode a file handle fragment from a dentry
|
|
* @get_name: find the name for a given inode in a given directory
|
|
* @get_parent: find the parent of a given directory
|
|
* @get_dentry: find a dentry for the inode given a file handle sub-fragment
|
|
*
|
|
* See Documentation/filesystems/Exporting for details on how to use
|
|
* this interface correctly.
|
|
*
|
|
* encode_fh:
|
|
* @encode_fh should store in the file handle fragment @fh (using at most
|
|
* @max_len bytes) information that can be used by @decode_fh to recover the
|
|
* file refered to by the &struct dentry @de. If the @connectable flag is
|
|
* set, the encode_fh() should store sufficient information so that a good
|
|
* attempt can be made to find not only the file but also it's place in the
|
|
* filesystem. This typically means storing a reference to de->d_parent in
|
|
* the filehandle fragment. encode_fh() should return the number of bytes
|
|
* stored or a negative error code such as %-ENOSPC
|
|
*
|
|
* fh_to_dentry:
|
|
* @fh_to_dentry is given a &struct super_block (@sb) and a file handle
|
|
* fragment (@fh, @fh_len). It should return a &struct dentry which refers
|
|
* to the same file that the file handle fragment refers to. If it cannot,
|
|
* it should return a %NULL pointer if the file was found but no acceptable
|
|
* &dentries were available, or an %ERR_PTR error code indicating why it
|
|
* couldn't be found (e.g. %ENOENT or %ENOMEM). Any suitable dentry can be
|
|
* returned including, if necessary, a new dentry created with d_alloc_root.
|
|
* The caller can then find any other extant dentries by following the
|
|
* d_alias links.
|
|
*
|
|
* fh_to_parent:
|
|
* Same as @fh_to_dentry, except that it returns a pointer to the parent
|
|
* dentry if it was encoded into the filehandle fragment by @encode_fh.
|
|
*
|
|
* get_name:
|
|
* @get_name should find a name for the given @child in the given @parent
|
|
* directory. The name should be stored in the @name (with the
|
|
* understanding that it is already pointing to a a %NAME_MAX+1 sized
|
|
* buffer. get_name() should return %0 on success, a negative error code
|
|
* or error. @get_name will be called without @parent->i_mutex held.
|
|
*
|
|
* get_parent:
|
|
* @get_parent should find the parent directory for the given @child which
|
|
* is also a directory. In the event that it cannot be found, or storage
|
|
* space cannot be allocated, a %ERR_PTR should be returned.
|
|
*
|
|
* Locking rules:
|
|
* get_parent is called with child->d_inode->i_mutex down
|
|
* get_name is not (which is possibly inconsistent)
