I'm not sure why a credential was added to these in the first place, it is
not used anywhere and it doesn't make much sense:
The credentials for syncing a file (ability to write to the
file) should be checked at the system call level.
Credentials for syncing one or more filesystems ("none")
should be checked at the system call level as well.
If the filesystem implementation needs a particular credential
to carry out the syncing it would logically have to the
cached mount credential, or a credential cached along with
any delayed write data.
Discussed with: rwatson
split the conversion of the remaining three filesystems out from the root
mounting changes, so in one go:
cd9660:
Convert to nmount.
Add omount compat shims.
Remove dedicated rootfs mounting code.
Use vfs_mountedfrom()
Rely on vfs_mount.c calling VFS_STATFS()
nfs(client):
Convert to nmount (the simple way, mount_nfs(8) is still necessary).
Add omount compat shims.
Drop COMPAT_PRELITE2 mount arg compatibility.
ffs:
Convert to nmount.
Add omount compat shims.
Remove dedicated rootfs mounting code.
Use vfs_mountedfrom()
Rely on vfs_mount.c calling VFS_STATFS()
Remove vfs_omount() method, all filesystems are now converted.
Remove MNTK_WANTRDWR, handling RO/RW conversions is a filesystem
task, and they all do it now.
Change rootmounting to use DEVFS trampoline:
vfs_mount.c:
Mount devfs on /. Devfs needs no 'from' so this is clean.
symlink /dev to /. This makes it possible to lookup /dev/foo.
Mount "real" root filesystem on /.
Surgically move the devfs mountpoint from under the real root
filesystem onto /dev in the real root filesystem.
Remove now unnecessary getdiskbyname().
kern_init.c:
Don't do devfs mounting and rootvnode assignment here, it was
already handled by vfs_mount.c.
Remove now unused bdevvp(), addaliasu() and addalias(). Put the
few necessary lines in devfs where they belong. This eliminates the
second-last source of bogo vnodes, leaving only the lemming-syncer.
Remove rootdev variable, it doesn't give meaning in a global context and
was not trustworth anyway. Correct information is provided by
statfs(/).
vfs_flagopt() for binary/boolean options.
vfs_getopts() for string options
vfs_filteropt() to check for unknown options.
vfs_scanopt() for scanf() like processing of options.
Also add function for setting the stat.f_mntfromname field.
Root filessytems (like NFS) don't have an associated disk device,
and even if they had, the exact semantics would be filesystem
dependent and should be implemented there.
doesn't. Most of the implementations have grown weeds for this so they
copy some fields from mnt_stat if the passed argument isn't that.
Fix this the cleaner way: Always call the implementation on mnt_stat
and copy that in toto to the VFS_STATFS argument if different.
and if so call it.
The cmount method will gather and interpret omount() style arguments,
and issue a kern_[v]mount() call to execute the corresponding nmount
operation.
It can be used to delay mounting root partition to give a chance to GEOM
providers to show up.
Now, when there is no needed provider, vfs_rootmount() function will look
for it every second and if it can't be find in defined time, it'll ask
for root device name (before this change it was done immediately).
This will allow to boot from gmirror device in degraded mode.
and you botch a call to nmount(2).
This is because there is an INVARIANTS check that asserts that
opt->len must be zero if opt->val is not NULL. The problem is that
the code does not actually follow this invariant if there is an
error while processing mount options.
Fix the code to honor the INVARIANT.
Silence on: fs@
and refuse initializing filesystems with a wrong version. This will
aid maintenance activites on the 5-stable branch.
s/vfs_mount/vfs_omount/
s/vfs_nmount/vfs_mount/
Name our filesystems mount function consistently.
Eliminate the namiedata argument to both vfs_mount and vfs_omount.
It was originally there to save stack space. A few places abused
it to get hold of some credentials to pass around. Effectively
it is unused.
Reorganize the root filesystem selection code.
Add a MOD_QUIESCE event for modules. This should return error (EBUSY)
of the module is in use.
MOD_UNLOAD should now only fail if it is impossible (as opposed to
inconvenient) to unload the module. Valid reasons are memory references
into the module which cannot be tracked down and eliminated.
When kldunloading, we abandon if MOD_UNLOAD fails, and if -force is
not given, MOD_QUIESCE failing will also prevent the unload.
For backwards compatibility, we treat EOPNOTSUPP from MOD_QUIESCE as
success.
Document that modules should return EOPNOTSUPP for unknown events.
This is to allow filesystems to decide based on the passed thread
which vnode to return.
Several filesystems used curthread, they now use the passed thread.
Add copyiniov() which copies a struct iovec array in from userland into
a malloc'ed struct iovec. Caller frees.
Change uiofromiov() to malloc the uio (caller frees) and name it
copyinuio() which is more appropriate.
Add cloneuio() which returns a malloc'ed copy. Caller frees.
Use them throughout.
Rebind the client socket when we experience a timeout. This fixes
the case where our IP changes for some reason.
Signal a VFS event when NFS transitions from up to down and vice
versa.
Add a placeholder vfs_sysctl where we will put status reporting
shortly.
Also:
Make down NFS mounts return EIO instead of EINTR when there is a
soft timeout or force unmount in progress.
generic filesystem events to userspace. Currently only mount and unmount
of filesystems are signalled. Soon to be added, up/down status of NFS.
Introduce a sysctl node used to route requests to/from filesystems
based on filesystem ids.
Introduce a new vfsop, vfs_sysctl(mp, req) that is used as the callback/
entrypoint by the sysctl code to change individual filesystems.
our cached 'next vnode' being removed from this mountpoint. If we
find that it was recycled, we restart our traversal from the start
of the list.
Code to do that is in all local disk filesystems (and a few other
places) and looks roughly like this:
MNT_ILOCK(mp);
loop:
for (vp = TAILQ_FIRST(&mp...);
(vp = nvp) != NULL;
nvp = TAILQ_NEXT(vp,...)) {
if (vp->v_mount != mp)
goto loop;
MNT_IUNLOCK(mp);
...
MNT_ILOCK(mp);
}
MNT_IUNLOCK(mp);
The code which takes vnodes off a mountpoint looks like this:
MNT_ILOCK(vp->v_mount);
...
TAILQ_REMOVE(&vp->v_mount->mnt_nvnodelist, vp, v_nmntvnodes);
...
MNT_IUNLOCK(vp->v_mount);
...
vp->v_mount = something;
(Take a moment and try to spot the locking error before you read on.)
On a SMP system, one CPU could have removed nvp from our mountlist
but not yet gotten to assign a new value to vp->v_mount while another
CPU simultaneously get to the top of the traversal loop where it
finds that (vp->v_mount != mp) is not true despite the fact that
the vnode has indeed been removed from our mountpoint.
Fix:
Introduce the macro MNT_VNODE_FOREACH() to traverse the list of
vnodes on a mountpoint while taking into account that vnodes may
be removed from the list as we go. This saves approx 65 lines of
duplicated code.
Split the insmntque() which potentially moves a vnode from one mount
point to another into delmntque() and insmntque() which does just
what the names say.
Fix delmntque() to set vp->v_mount to NULL while holding the
mountpoint lock.
