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. The @inump will be whatever was passed to * nfsd_find_fh_dentry() in either the @obj or @parent parameters. * * Locking rules: * get_parent is called with child->d_inode->i_mutex down * get_name is not (which is possibly inconsistent) */ struct export_operations { struct dentry *(*decode_fh)(struct super_block *sb, __u32 *fh, int fh_len, int fh_type, int (*acceptable)(void *context, struct dentry *de), void *context); int (*encode_fh)(struct dentry *de, __u32 *fh, int *max_len, int connectable); int (*get_name)(struct dentry *parent, char *name, struct dentry *child); struct dentry * (*get_parent)(struct dentry *child); struct dentry * (*get_dentry)(struct super_block *sb, void *inump); /* This is set by the exporting module to a standard helper */ struct dentry * (*find_exported_dentry)( struct super_block *sb, void *obj, void *parent, int (*acceptable)(void *context, struct dentry *de), void *context); }; extern struct dentry *find_exported_dentry(struct super_block *sb, void *obj, void *parent, int (*acceptable)(void *context, struct dentry *de), void *context); extern int exportfs_encode_fh(struct dentry *dentry, __u32 *fh, int *max_len, int connectable); extern struct dentry *exportfs_decode_fh(struct vfsmount *mnt, __u32 *fh, int fh_len, int fileid_type, int (*acceptable)(void *, struct dentry *), void *context); #endif /* LINUX_EXPORTFS_H */
