In this respect, it is * similar to the loopback file system. It differs from * the loopback fs in two respects: it is implemented using * a stackable layers technique, and its "null-nodes" stack above * all lower-layer vnodes, not just over directory vnodes. * * The null layer has two purposes. First, it serves as a demonstration * of layering by providing a layer which does nothing (it actually * does everything the loopback file system does, which is slightly * more than nothing). Second, the null layer can serve as a prototype * layer. Since it provides all necessary layer framework, * new file system layers can be created very easily by starting * with a null layer. * * The remainder of this comment examines the null layer as a basis * for constructing new layers. * * * INSTANTIATING NEW NULL LAYERS * * New null layers are created with mount_null(8). * mount_null(8) takes two arguments, the pathname * of the lower vfs (target-pn) and the pathname where the null * layer will appear in the namespace (alias-pn). After * the null layer is put into place, the contents * of target-pn subtree will be aliased under alias-pn. * * * OPERATION OF A NULL LAYER * * The null layer is the minimum file system layer, * simply bypassing all possible operations to the lower layer * for processing there. The majority of its activity centers * on the bypass routine, through which nearly all vnode operations * pass. * * The bypass routine accepts arbitrary vnode operations for * handling by the lower layer. It begins by examining vnode * operation arguments and replacing any null-nodes by their * lower-layer equivalents. It then invokes the operation * on the lower layer. Finally, it replaces the null-nodes * in the arguments and, if a vnode is returned by the operation, * stacks a null-node on top of the returned vnode. * * Although bypass handles most operations, vop_getattr, vop_lock, * vop_unlock, vop_inactive, vop_reclaim, and vop_print are not * bypassed. vop_getattr must change the fsid being returned. * vop_lock and vop_unlock must handle any locking for the * current vnode as well as pass the lock request down. * vop_inactive and vop_reclaim are not bypassed so that * they can handle freeing null-layer specific data. vop_print * is not bypassed to avoid excessive debugging information. * Also, certain vnode operations change the locking state within * the operation (create, mknod, remove, link, rename, mkdir, rmdir, * and symlink). Ideally these operations should not change the * lock state, but should be changed to let the caller of the * function unlock them. Otherwise all intermediate vnode layers * (such as union, umapfs, etc) must catch these functions to do * the necessary locking at their layer. * * * INSTANTIATING VNODE STACKS * * Mounting associates the null layer with a lower layer, * in effect stacking two VFSes. Vnode stacks are instead * created on demand as files are accessed. * * The initial mount creates a single vnode stack for the * root of the new null layer. All other vnode stacks * are created as a result of vnode operations on * this or other null vnode stacks. * * New vnode stacks come into existence as a result of * an operation which returns a vnode. * The bypass routine stacks a null-node above the new * vnode before returning it to the caller. * * For example, imagine mounting a null layer with * "mount_null /usr/include /dev/layer/null". * Changing directory to /dev/layer/null will assign * the root null-node (which was created when the null layer was mounted). * Now consider opening "sys". A vop_lookup would be * done on the root null-node. This operation would bypass through * to the lower layer which would return a vnode representing * the UFS "sys". null_bypass then builds a null-node * aliasing the UFS "sys" and returns this to the caller. * Later operations on the null-node "sys" will repeat this * process when constructing other vnode stacks. * * * CREATING OTHER FILE SYSTEM LAYERS * * One of the easiest ways to construct new file system layers is to make * a copy of the null layer, rename all files and variables, and * then begin modifying the copy. sed(1) can be used to easily rename * all variables. * * The umap layer is an example of a layer descended from the * null layer. * * * INVOKING OPERATIONS ON LOWER LAYERS * * There are two techniques to invoke operations on a lower layer * when the operation cannot be completely bypassed. Each method * is appropriate in different situations. In both cases, * it is the responsibility of the aliasing layer to make * the operation arguments "correct" for the lower layer * by mapping any vnode arguments to the lower layer. * * The first approach is to call the aliasing layer's bypass routine. * This method is most suitable when you wish to invoke the operation * currently being handled on the lower layer. It has the advantage * that the bypass routine already must do argument mapping. * An example of this is null_getattrs in the null layer. * * A second approach is to directly invoke vnode operations on * the lower layer with the VOP_OPERATIONNAME interface. * The advantage of this method is that it is easy to invoke * arbitrary operations on the lower layer. The disadvantage * is that vnode arguments must be manually mapped. * */ #include #include #include #include #include #include #include #include #include #include #include #include #include /* * Global vfs data structures */ int (**null_vnodeop_p) __P((void *)); const struct vnodeopv_entry_desc null_vnodeop_entries[] = { { &vop_default_desc, layer_bypass }, { &vop_lookup_desc, layer_lookup }, { &vop_setattr_desc, layer_setattr }, { &vop_getattr_desc, layer_getattr }, { &vop_access_desc, layer_access }, { &vop_lock_desc, layer_lock }, { &vop_unlock_desc, layer_unlock }, { &vop_islocked_desc, layer_islocked }, { &vop_fsync_desc, layer_fsync }, { &vop_inactive_desc, layer_inactive }, { &vop_reclaim_desc, layer_reclaim }, { &vop_print_desc, layer_print }, { &vop_open_desc, layer_open }, /* mount option handling */ { &vop_strategy_desc, layer_strategy }, { &vop_bwrite_desc, layer_bwrite }, { &vop_bmap_desc, layer_bmap }, { (struct vnodeop_desc*)NULL, (int(*)__P((void *)))NULL } }; const struct vnodeopv_desc null_vnodeop_opv_desc = { &null_vnodeop_p, null_vnodeop_entries };
