Hi Linus, Al,
The attached patch adds automounting support and mountpount expiry support to
the VFS.
This patch involves the adding the following features:
(1) A new dentry operation that (a) marks a dentry as being an automount
point, and (b) gets called by the VFS to come up with a vfsmount
structure which the VFS then stitches into the mount tree fabric at the
appropriate place.
(2) A new lookup flag that is used by sys_*stat() to prevent automounting of
the path endpoint. This means "ls -l" in an automounter directory doesn't
cause a mount storm, but will display all the mountpoints in that
directory as subdirectories (either the underlying mountpoint dir or the
root dir of the mounted fs if the mountpoint has been triggered already).
(3) do_kern_mount() is now exported.
(4) The vfsmount structure has acquired, amongst other things, a timeout
field. If mntput() notices a vfsmount reach a usage count of 1, then the
vfsmount expiry time is set and the namespace that contains the vfsmount
has its expiration work chitty queued.
(5) The namespace structure has acquired a work struct that is used to
actually perform vfsmount expiry under process context.
Here's a cut-down example, taken from the implementation I'm using my AFS
filesystem client:
static struct dentry_operations afs_fs_mntpt_dentry_operations = {
.d_revalidate = afs_d_revalidate,
.d_delete = afs_d_delete,
.d_automount = afs_mntpt_d_automount,
};
struct vfsmount *afs_mntpt_d_automount(struct dentry *mntpt)
{
struct vfsmount *mnt;
size_t size;
char *buf, *devname = NULL;
devname = (char *) get_zeroed_page(GFP_KERNEL);
/* read the contents of the AFS special symlink */
size = afs_read_string(mntpt->d_inode, devname, PAGE_SIZE - 1);
mnt = do_kern_mount("afs", 0, devname, NULL);
mnt->mnt_expiry_timeout = 30;
free_page((unsigned long)devname);
return mnt;
}
Note that the inode attached to the underlying mountpoint can be used to
determine _what_ should be mounted.
I've some ideas as to how to implement a leaner autofs with it as well as
using it for AFS.
Any comments would be appreciated.
David
