While we assume all normal files and directories can be checkpointed,
there are, as usual in the VFS, specialized places that will always
need an ability to override these defaults. Although we could do this
completely in the checkpoint code, that would bitrot quickly.
This adds a new 'file_operations' function for checkpointing a file.
It is assumed that there should be a dirt-simple way to make something
(un)checkpointable that fits in with current code.
As you can see in the ext[234] patches down the road, all that we have
to do to make something simple be supported is add a single "generic"
f_op entry.
Also adds a new 'file_operations' function for 'collecting' a file for
leak-detection during full-container checkpoint. This is useful for
those files that hold references to other "collectable" objects. Two
examples are pty files that point to corresponding tty objects, and
eventpoll files that refer to the files they are monitoring.
Finally, this patch introduces vfs_fcntl() so that it can be called
from restart (see patch adding restart of files).
Changelog[v17]
- Introduce 'collect' method
Changelog[v17]
- Forward-declare 'ckpt_ctx' et-al, don't use checkpoint_types.h
