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