Why do we want this? -------------------- That depends on who you ask. My answer is this: 'foo.tar.gz/foo/bar' or 'foo.tar.gz/contents/foo/bar' or something similar. Others might suggest accessing streams, resource forks or extended attributes through such an interface. However this patch only deals with the non-directory case, so directories would be excluded from that interface. But otherwise this patch doesn't limit the uses of the "file as directory" concept in any way. It just adds the infrastructure to support these whacky beasts. How is it done? --------------- (See this [1] thread for more discussion on the subject) When a non-directory object is accessed without a trailing slash, then path resolution returns the object itself as usual. If a non-directory object is accessed with a trailing slash, then the filesystem may opt to let the file be accessed as a directory. In this case "something" (as supplied by the filesystem) is mounted on top of the non-directory object. This mount will have special properties: - If there's no trailing slash is after the file name, the mount won't be followed, even if the path resolution would otherwise follow mounts. - The mount only stays there while it is referenced by some external object, like a pwd or an open file. When it is no longer referenced, it is automatically unmounted. - Unlike "real" mounts, this won't block unlink(2) or rename(2) on the underlying object. Compatibility with existing systems ----------------------------------- Filesystems which enable "file as directory" semantics, might possibly break existing applications. For example an app could conceivably check if an object is a directory by appending a slash to the name and trying some filesystem operation. This application might be confused by allowing such operations to succeed on non-directory objects. However in practice this sort of behavior seem to be rare. The other question is, how well unmodified applications cope with user-supplied paths which have a slash after the name of a non-directory object. Command line utilities seem to cope very well, since they don't have too much path "sanitization". Bash also seems perfectly capable of dealing with such beasts, with filename completion and everything. More complex apps like emacs and file browsers have more problems, but in some cases they do actually work as expected. Notably if the supplied path has at least one additional component below the non-directory object. So while this doesn't work in emacs etc.: foo.tar.gz/ this usually does: foo.tar.gz/foo It is probably trivial to teach these programs to not be too clever with path names. It should also be possible to make apps be aware and explicitly support files as directories. Implementation details ---------------------- See comments and Documentation/* in the patch. The patch is careful not to touch the fastpaths in the path resolution: - Only check ->enter() if ->lookup() is not defined and there's a trailing slash. This happens very infrequently, since most apps check the file type before trying to enter a directory - Since the "directory on file" mount is removed on leave, most files won't have anything mounted over them. In these cases follow_mount() and friends will be just as fast as before this patch. There's only a negligible slowdown for crossing a mountpoint and a very minor slowdown for accessing files, which currently have a "directory on file" mount over them. How to try it out ----------------- This needs quite a bit of fiddling. First get the files from http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/mszeredi/file-as-directory/ - Get the CVS version of fuse, patch it with fuse-enter.patch. - Compile avfs-enter.c as instructed at the top of that file - Get the CVS version of AVFS and compile it, you should get a working avfsd daemon. After mounting with "./avfsd /avfs", try ls -l /avfs/usr/src/linux-2.6.21.tar.gz#/ - Patch a kernel with the below patch. This is against 2.6.22-rc1-mm1, but with some effort should apply to other recent kernels. - Reboot and look for "app/pid enter name/" lines in dmesg. Those are when an app is attempting to access a non-directory with a slash, and failing of course, because no filesystem supports this yet. - Mount the avfs filesystem. It is important to mount it on /avfs. - Mount the avfs-enter filesystem somewhere, e.g. /tmp/avfs - Try ls -l /tmp/avfs/usr/src/linux-2.6.21.tar.gz ls -l /tmp/avfs/usr/src/linux-2.6.21.tar.gz/ cd /tmp/avfs/usr/src/linux-2.6.21.tar.gz/ [1] http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.file-systems.reiserfs.general/10861 Signed-off-by: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@xxxxxxx> --- Documentation/filesystems/Locking | 7 + Documentation/filesystems/vfs.txt | 12 +- fs/dcache.c | 2 fs/namei.c | 121 ++++++++++++++++---- fs/namespace.c | 223 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++----- include/linux/dcache.h | 20 +++ include/linux/fs.h | 2 include/linux/mount.h | 4 include/linux/namei.h | 3 9 files changed, 338 insertions(+), 56 deletions(-) Index: linux/fs/namei.c =================================================================== --- linux.orig/fs/namei.c 2007-05-22 18:06:24.000000000 +0200 +++ linux/fs/namei.c 2007-05-22 18:06:32.000000000 +0200 @@ -669,14 +669,22 @@ int follow_up(struct vfsmount **mnt, str return 1; } -/* no need for dcache_lock, as serialization is taken care in +/* + * Follows mounts on the given struct path.
