If the client is using 9p2000.u, the following occurs:
$ cd ${virtfs_shared_dir}
$ mkdir -p a/b/c
$ ls a/b
ls: cannot access 'a/b/a': No such file or directory
ls: cannot access 'a/b/b': No such file or directory
a b c
instead of the expected:
$ ls a/b
c
This is a regression introduced by commit f57f5878578a;
local_name_to_path() now resolves ".." and "." in paths,
and v9fs_do_readdir_with_stat()->stat_to_v9stat() then
copies the basename of the resulting path to the response.
With the example above, this means that "." and ".." are
turned into "b" and "a" respectively...
stat_to_v9stat() currently assumes it is passed a full
canonicalized path and uses it to do two different things:
1) to pass it to v9fs_co_readlink() in case the file is a symbolic
link
2) to set the name field of the V9fsStat structure to the basename
part of the given path
It only has two users: v9fs_stat() and v9fs_do_readdir_with_stat().
v9fs_stat() really needs 1) and 2) to be performed since it starts
with the full canonicalized path stored in the fid. It is different
for v9fs_do_readdir_with_stat() though because the name we want to
put into the V9fsStat structure is the d_name field of the dirent
actually (ie, we want to keep the "." and ".." special names). So,
we only need 1) in this case.
This patch hence adds a basename argument to stat_to_v9stat(), to
be used to set the name field of the V9fsStat structure, and moves
the basename logic to v9fs_stat().
