Subject: [PATCH 4/5] NFS: remove RPC PipeFS mount point reference from
blocklayout routines
This is a cleanup patch. We don't need this reference anymore, because
blocklayout pipes dentries now creates and destroys in per-net operations and
on PipeFS mount/umount notification.
Note that nfs4blocklayout_register_net() now returns 0 instead of -ENOENT in
case of PipeFS superblock absence. This is ok, because blocklayout pipe dentry
will be created on PipeFS mount event.
When is the "pipefs mount event" going to happen? When inserting kernel modules
or when user issues
mount command?
When user issues mount command.
Kernel mounts of PipeFS has been removed with all these patch sets I've sent
already.
Then it is going to break blocklayout user space program blkmapd, which is
stared before mounting any file system and it tries to open the pipe file when
started.
Sorry, but I don't get it. Probably we have misunderstanding here.
You said, that "blkmapd ... tries to open the pipe file when started". This pipe
file is located on PipeFS, isn't it?
If yes, then PipeFS have to be mounted already in user-space. And if it has been
mounted - then pipe dentry is present.
IOW, pipe (without dentry) will be created on module load. Pipe dentry will be
created right after that (like it was before) if PipeFS was mounted from
user-space. If not - then pipe dentry will be created on PipeFS (!) mount (not
NFS or pNFS mount) from user-space.
Or I'm missing something in your reply?
Not sure if you implement the same logic on nfs pipe as well. But if you do,
then nfs client user space program idmapd will fail to start for the same
reason.
The same logic here.
Why not just fail to load module if you fail to initialize pipefs? When is
rpc_get_sb_net() going to fail?
Sorry, but I don't understand, what is your idea. And why do we need to fail at
all.
BTW, rpc_get_sb_net() just checks, was PipeFS mounted in passed net, or not. If
not - not a problem. Dentries will be created on mount event. If yes, then it
returns locked PipeFS sb and the next step is dentry creation.
Thanks,
Tao
