The remainder, termed - * a file handle fragment, is controlled completely by the filesystem. The - * standard helper routines assume that this fragment will contain one or - * two sub-fragments, one which identifies the file, and one which may be - * used to identify the (a) directory containing the file. - * - * In some situations, nfsd needs to get a dentry which is connected into a - * specific part of the file tree. To allow for this, it passes the - * function acceptable() together with a @context which can be used to see - * if the dentry is acceptable. As there can be multiple dentrys for a - * given file, the filesystem should check each one for acceptability before - * looking for the next. As soon as an acceptable one is found, it should - * be returned. - * - * decode_fh: - * @decode_fh is given a &struct super_block (@sb), a file handle fragment - * (@fh, @fh_len) and an acceptability testing function (@acceptable, - * @context). It should return a &struct dentry which refers to the same - * file that the file handle fragment refers to, and which passes the - * acceptability test. If it cannot, it should return a %NULL pointer if - * the file was found but no acceptable &dentries were available, or a - * %ERR_PTR error code indicating why it couldn't be found (e.g. %ENOENT or - * %ENOMEM). - * - * 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 - * - * 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. - * - * get_dentry: - * Given a &super_block (@sb) and a pointer to a file-system specific inode - * identifier, possibly an inode number, (@inump) get_dentry() should find - * the identified inode and return a dentry for that inode. 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 dentrys by - * following the d_alias links. If a new dentry was created using - * d_alloc_root, DCACHE_NFSD_DISCONNECTED should be set, and the dentry - * should be d_rehash()ed. - * - * If the inode cannot be found, either a %NULL pointer or an %ERR_PTR code - * can be returned.
