From: Trond Myklebust Subject: [PATCH 0/4] NFS private namespace patchset Date: Thu, 18 Jun 2009 12:25:00 -0700 Message-ID: <20090618192500.19433.16770.stgit@heimdal.trondhjem.org> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" Cc: linux-fsdevel@vger.kernel.org, linux-nfs@vger.kernel.org To: Al Viro , Linus Torvalds Return-path: Sender: linux-fsdevel-owner@vger.kernel.org List-ID: The following series is a resend of a set of patches that were originally targetted for inclusion in 2.6.30-rc1. They build upon Al Viro's "Cache root in nameidata" patches, and add the ability to create a private mount namespace that is not visible to user processes. As stated before, the goal is to allow reuse of vfs_path_lookup() in order to allow the nfs client to walk down NFSv4 mount paths, and locate the directory that needs to be mounted. Cheers Trond --- Trond Myklebust (4): NFS: Correct the NFS mount path when following a referral NFS: Fix nfs_path() to always return a '/' at the beginning of the path NFSv4: Replace nfs4_path_walk() with VFS path lookup in a private namespace VFS: Add VFS helper functions for setting up private namespaces fs/namespace.c | 46 ++++++++- fs/nfs/namespace.c | 5 + fs/nfs/super.c | 202 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++---- include/linux/mnt_namespace.h | 1 4 files changed, 225 insertions(+), 29 deletions(-) -- Signature
