12 * The fileid_type identifies how the file within the filesystem is encoded.
13 * In theory this is freely set and parsed by the filesystem, but we try to
14 * stick to conventions so we can share some generic code and don't confuse
15 * sniffers like ethereal/wireshark.
17 * The filesystem must not use the value '0' or '0xff'.

51 * struct export_operations - for nfsd to communicate with file systems
52 * @encode_fh: encode a file handle fragment from a dentry
53 * @fh_to_dentry: find the implied object and get a dentry for it
54 * @fh_to_parent: find the implied object's parent and get a dentry for it
55 * @get_name: find the name for a given inode in a given directory
56 * @get_parent: find the parent of a given directory
58 * See Documentation/filesystems/Exporting for details on how to use
59 * this interface correctly.
61 * encode_fh:
62 * @encode_fh should store in the file handle fragment @fh (using at most
63 * @max_len bytes) information that can be used by @decode_fh to recover the
64 * file refered to by the &struct dentry @de. If the @connectable flag is
65 * set, the encode_fh() should store sufficient information so that a good
66 * attempt can be made to find not only the file but also it's place in the
67 * filesystem. This typically means storing a reference to de->d_parent in
68 * the filehandle fragment. encode_fh() should return the number of bytes
69 * stored or a negative error code such as %-ENOSPC
71 * fh_to_dentry:
72 * @fh_to_dentry is given a &struct super_block (@sb) and a file handle
73 * fragment (@fh, @fh_len). It should return a &struct dentry which refers
74 * to the same file that the file handle fragment refers to. If it cannot,
75 * it should return a %NULL pointer if the file was found but no acceptable
76 * &dentries were available, or an %ERR_PTR error code indicating why it
77 * couldn't be found (e.g. %ENOENT or %ENOMEM). Any suitable dentry can be
78 * returned including, if necessary, a new dentry created with d_alloc_root.
79 * The caller can then find any other extant dentries by following the
80 * d_alias links.
82 * fh_to_parent:
83 * Same as @fh_to_dentry, except that it returns a pointer to the parent
84 * dentry if it was encoded into the filehandle fragment by @encode_fh.
86 * get_name:
87 * @get_name should find a name for the given @child in the given @parent
88 * directory. The name should be stored in the @name (with the
89 * understanding that it is already pointing to a a %NAME_MAX+1 sized
90 * buffer. get_name() should return %0 on success, a negative error code
91 * or error. @get_name will be called without @parent->i_mutex held.
93 * get_parent:
94 * @get_parent should find the parent directory for the given @child which
95 * is also a directory. In the event that it cannot be found, or storage
96 * space cannot be allocated, a %ERR_PTR should be returned.
98 * Locking rules:
99 * get_parent is called with child->d_inode->i_mutex down
100 * get_name is not (which is possibly inconsistent)
