* 9p: Include fsync support for 9p clientM. Mohan Kumar2010-02-081-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Implement the fsync in the client side by marking stat field values to 'don't touch' so that server may interpret it as a request to guarantee that the contents of the associated file are committed to stable storage before the Rwstat message is returned. Without this patch, calling fsync on a 9p file results in "Invalid argument" error. Please check the attached C program.

* 9p: Add fscache support to 9pAbhishek Kulkarni2009-09-231-0/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds a persistent, read-only caching facility for 9p clients using the FS-Cache caching backend. When the fscache facility is enabled, each inode is associated with a corresponding vcookie which is an index into the FS-Cache indexing tree. The FS-Cache indexing tree is indexed at 3 levels: - session object associated with each mount. - inode/vcookie - actual data (pages) A cache tag is chosen randomly for each session. These tags can be read off /sys/fs/9p/caches and can be passed as a mount-time parameter to re-attach to the specified caching session.

* 9p: rework client code to use new protocol support functionsEric Van Hensbergen2008-10-171-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | Now that the new protocol functions are in place, this patch switches the client code to using the new support code. Signed-off-by: Eric Van Hensbergen <ericvh@gmail.com>
* 9p: move readn meta-function from client to fs layerEric Van Hensbergen2008-10-171-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There are a couple of methods in the client code which aren't actually wire operations. To keep things organized cleaner, these operations are being moved to the fs layer. This patch moves the readn meta-function (which executes multiple wire reads until a buffer is full) to the fs layer. Signed-off-by: Eric Van Hensbergen <ericvh@gmail.com>
* 9p: fix O_APPEND in legacy modeEric Van Hensbergen2008-07-031-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | The legacy protocol's open operation doesn't handle an append operation (it is expected that the client take care of it). We were incorrectly passing the extended protocol's flag through even in legacy mode. This was reported in bugzilla report #10689. This patch fixes the problem by disallowing extended protocol open modes from being passed in legacy mode and implemented append functionality on the client side by adding a seek after the open.

* 9p: Reorganization of 9p file system codeLatchesar Ionkov2007-07-141-3/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | This patchset moves non-filesystem interfaces of v9fs from fs/9p to net/9p. It moves the transport, packet marshalling and connection layers to net/9p leaving only the VFS related files in fs/9p. This work is being done in preparation for in-kernel 9p servers as well as alternate 9p clients (other than VFS).

* 9p: implement optional loose read cacheEric Van Hensbergen2007-02-181-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | While cacheing is generally frowned upon in the 9p world, it has its place -- particularly in situations where the remote file system is exclusive and/or read-only. The vacfs views of venti content addressable store are a real-world instance of such a situation. To facilitate higher performance for these workloads (and eventually use the fscache patches), we have enabled a "loose" cache mode which does not attempt to maintain any form of consistency on the page-cache or dcache. This results in over two orders of magnitude performance improvement for cacheable block reads in the Bonnie benchmark. The more aggressive use of the dcache also seems to improve metadata operational performance. Signed-off-by: Eric Van Hensbergen <ericvh@gmail.com>

* [PATCH] Make most file operations structs in fs/ constArjan van de Ven2006-03-281-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is a conversion to make the various file_operations structs in fs/ const. Basically a regexp job, with a few manual fixups The goal is both to increase correctness (harder to accidentally write to shared datastructures) and reducing the false sharing of cachelines with things that get dirty in .data (while .rodata is nicely read only and thus cache clean) Signed-off-by: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@infradead.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

* [PATCH] v9fs: fix atomic create openLatchesar Ionkov2006-03-021-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | In order to assure atomic create+open v9fs stores the open fid produced by v9fs_vfs_create in the dentry, from where v9fs_file_open retrieves it and associates it with the open file. This patch modifies v9fs to use nameidata.intent.open values to do the atomic create+open.

* [PATCH] v9fs: add readpage supportEric Van Hensbergen2006-01-181-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | v9fs mmap support was originally removed from v9fs at Al Viro's request, but recently there have been requests from folks who want readpage functionality (primarily to enable execution of files mounted via 9P). This patch adds readpage support (but not writepage which contained most of the objectionable code). It passes fsx-linux (and other regressions) so it should be relatively safe.
