Greg, I wonder if you can take at least a brief look and tell me if this
is the direction you were envisioning wrt this particular cleanup.
It's not all-inclusive, but I have a long flight tomorrow so
if the direction is right, I can convert more of this stuff.
This does not touch some of the multi-value stuff that would probably
need to move to debugfs or other places, that would be a next step.
Additionally some questions:
I know sysfs is supposedly 1 file 1 value, though I see some exceptions, e.g.:
# cat /sys/kernel/vmcoreinfo
2b57500 1024
So we have this /proc/fs/lustre/devices that prints status of all
"lustre internal devices (or obd for short)" like this:
# cat /proc/fs/lustre/devices
0 UP mgc MGC192.168.10.226@tcp d6815182-b36d-c4ba-6aa6-065aeb9e9769 5
1 UP lov lustre-clilov-ffff8800bd617800 32be3f55-891e-ed82-cae9-6add0770d503 4
...
Obviously I cannot retain it as a single file, but do I really need to
create a tree that would look like:
/sys/fs/lustre/obd/[1...]/{status,name,type,uuid,refcount}
(or possibly even /sys/devices/virtual/lustre_obd/... )
or can I get away with just
/sys/fs/lustre/obd/[1...] files where there's one line per obd like:
0 UP mgc MGC192.168.10.226@tcp d6815182-b36d-c4ba-6aa6-065aeb9e9769 5
(frankly, I have not figured out yet how to dynamically add files
to sysfs dir).
What about /proc/sys stuff - /proc/sys/lustre and /proc/sys/lnet?
Hopefully it's ok to leave those where they are?
Also I found that cgroup does calls into kernfs directly, gaining
ability to register seq_file files and otherwise do all sorts of
stuff that would be cool to do from lustre too ;)
These patches compile and run, but I imagine it's not a great idea
to merge them yet.
Thanks.
