size[4] Tfsync tag[2] fid[4] datasync[4]
size[4] Rfsync tag[2]
DESCRIPTION
The Tfsync transaction transfers ("flushes") all modified in-core data of
file identified by fid to the disk device (or other permanent storage
device) where that file resides.
If datasync flag is specified data will be fleshed but does not flush
modified metadata unless that metadata is needed in order to allow a
subsequent data retrieval to be correctly handled.

readv & writev, read & write respectively from the current offset
of the file & hence their use has to be preceeded by a call to lseek.
preadv/writev can be used instead, as they take the offset as an argument.
This saves one system call( lseek ).
In case preadv is not supported, it is implemented by an lseek
followed by a readv. Depending upon the configuration of QEMU, the
appropriate read & write methods are selected. This patch also fixes the
zero byte read/write bug & obviates the need to apply a fix for that bug separately.

The O_DIRECT flag imposes alignment restrictions on the length and address
of userspace buffers and the file offset of I/Os.
While VirtFS/9P has plans to implement O_DIRECT behavior on the server,
for now we will stick to a behavior like NFS by bypassing the page cache
only on the client. Server may still cache the I/O.

When 9P server fails to create a file due to permission problems it should
return EPERM. However the current 9P2000.L code returns EBADF. EBADF is NOT
a valid return value from open() call.
The problem is because we do not preserve the errno variable properly. If the
file open had failed, the call to close() on the fd in v9fs_post_lcreate()
fails and sets errno to EBADF. We should preserve the errno that we got from
open() and we should call close() only if we had a valid fd.

This patch applies on top of 9P2000.L patches that we have on the list.
I took a look at how 9P server is handling open() flags in 9P2000.L path.
I think we can do away with the valid_flags() function and simplify the
code. The reasoning is as follows:
O_NOCTTY: (If the file is a terminal, don't make it the controlling
terminal of the process even though the process does not have a controlling
terminal) By the time the control reaches 9P client it is clear that what
we have is not a terminal device. Hence it does not matter what we do with
this flag. In any case 9P server can filter this flag out before making the
syscall.
O_NONBLOCK: (Don't block if i) Can't read/write to the file ii) Can't get
locks) This has an impact on FIFOs, but also on file locks. Hence we can
pass it down to the system call.
O_ASYNC: From the manpage:
O_ASYNC
Enable signal-driven I/O: generate a signal (SIGIO by default, but
this can be changed via fcntl(2)) when input or output becomes pos-
sible on this file descriptor. This feature is only available for
terminals, pseudo-terminals, sockets, and (since Linux 2.6) pipes
and FIFOs. See fcntl(2) for further details.
Again, this does not make any impact on regular files handled by 9P. Also,
we don't want 9P server to receive SIGIO. Hence I think 9P server can
filter this flag out before making the syscall.
O_CLOEXEC: This flag makes sense only on the client. If guest user space
sets this flag the guest VFS will take care of calling close() on the fd if
an exec() happens. Hence 9P client need not be bothered with this flag.
Also I think QEMU will not do an exec, but if it does, it makes sense to
close these fds. Hence we can pass this flag down to the syscall.
O_CREAT: Since we are in open() path it means we have confirmed that the file
exists. Hence there is no need to pass O_CREAT flag down to the system. In fact
on some versions of glibc this causes problems, because we pass O_CREAT flag,
but don't have permission bits. Hence we can just mask this flag out.
So in summary:
Mask out:
O_NOCTTY
O_ASYNC
O_CREAT
Pass-through:
O_NONBLOCK
O_CLOEXEC

TXATTRCREATE: Prepare a fid for setting xattr value on a file system object.
size[4] TXATTRCREATE tag[2] fid[4] name[s] attr_size[8] flags[4]
size[4] RXATTRWALK tag[2]
txattrcreate gets a fid pointing to xattr. This fid can later be
used to get set the xattr value.
flag value is derived from set Linux setxattr. The manpage says
"The flags parameter can be used to refine the semantics of the operation.
XATTR_CREATE specifies a pure create, which fails if the named attribute
exists already. XATTR_REPLACE specifies a pure replace operation, which
fails if the named attribute does not already exist. By default (no flags),
the extended attribute will be created if need be, or will simply replace
the value if the attribute exists."
The actual setxattr operation happens when the fid is clunked. At that point
the written byte count and the attr_size specified in TXATTRCREATE should be
same otherwise an error will be returned.

Explanation of the patches:
--------------------------
*) The kernel just copies relevent contents of iattr structure to p9_iattr_dotl
structure and passes it down to the client. The only check it has is calling
inode_change_ok()
*) The p9_iattr_dotl structure does not have ctime and ia_file parameters because
I don't think these are needed in our case. The client user space can request
updating just ctime by calling chown(fd, -1, -1). This is handled on server
side without a need for putting ctime on the wire.
*) The server currently supports changing mode, time, ownership and size of the
file.
*) 9P RFC says "Either all the changes in wstat request happen, or none of them
does: if the request succeeds, all changes were made; if it fails, none were."
I have not done anything to implement this specifically because I don't see
a reason.

truncate time, but resets the atime to "1970-01-01 05:30:00". utime

This patch implements the client side of getattr implementation for 9P2000.L.
It introduces a new structure p9_stat_dotl for getting Linux stat information
along with QID. The data layout is similar to stat structure in Linux user
space with the following major differences:
inode (st_ino) is not part of data. Instead qid is.
device (st_dev) is not part of data because this doesn't make sense on the
client.
All time variables are 64 bit wide on the wire. The kernel seems to use
32 bit variables for these variables. However, some of the architectures
have used 64 bit variables and glibc exposes 64 bit variables to user
space on some architectures. Hence to be on the safer side we have made
these 64 bit in the protocol. Refer to the comments in
include/asm-generic/stat.h
There are some additional fields: st_btime_sec, st_btime_nsec, st_gen,
st_data_version apart from the bitmask, st_result_mask. The bit mask
is filled by the server to indicate which stat fields have been
populated by the server. Currently there is no clean way for the
server to obtain these additional fields, so it sends back just the
basic fields.

In v9fs_remove_post_remove() we currently ignore the error returned by
the previous call to remove() and return an error only if freeing the
fid fails. However, the client expects to see the error from remove().
Currently the client falsely thinks that the remove call has always
succeeded. For example, doing rmdir on a non-empty directory does
not return ENOTEMPTY.
With this patch we ignore the error from free_fid(). The client cannot
use this error value anyway.

attributes. Given that the user space extended attributes are available
to regular files only, special files are created as regular files on the
fileserver and appropriate mode bits are added to the extended attributes.
This method presents all special files and symlinks as regular files on the
fileserver while they are represented as special files on the guest mount.
Implemntation of symlink in mapped security model:
A regular file is created and the link target is written to it.
readlink() reads it back from the file.
On Guest/Client:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 6 2010-05-11 12:20 asymlink -> afile
On Host/Fileserver:
-rw-------. 1 root root 6 2010-05-11 09:20 asymlink
afile
Under passthrough model, it just calls underlying symlink() readlink()
system calls are used.
Under both security models, client user credentials are changed
after the filesystem objec creation.

In the mapped security model, VirtFS server intercepts and maps
the file object create and get/set attribute requests. Files on the fileserver
will be created with VirtFS servers (QEMU) user credentials and the
client-users credentials are stored in extended attributes. On the request
to get attributes, server extracts the client-users credentials
from extended attributes and sends them to the client.
On Host/Fileserver:
-rw-------. 2 virfsuid virtfsgid 0 2010-05-11 09:19 afile
On Guest/Client:
-rw-r--r-- 2 guestuser guestuser 0 2010-05-11 12:19 afile

mapped model changes the owner in the extended attributes.
passthrough model does the change through lchown() as the
server don't need to follow the link and client will send the
actual filesystem object.

This patch adds required infrastructure for the new security model.
- A new configure option for attr/xattr.
- if CONFIG_VIRTFS will be defined if both CONFIG_LINUX and CONFIG_ATTR defined.
- Defines routines related to both security models.

The new option is:
-fsdev fstype,id=myid,path=/share_path/,security_model=[mapped|passthrough]
-virtfs fstype,path=/share_path/,security_model=[mapped|passthrough],mnt_tag=tag
In the case of mapped security model, files are created with QEMU user
credentials and the client-user's credentials are saved in extended attributes.
Whereas in the case of passthrough security model, files on the
filesystem are directly created with client-user's credentials.
