2006-03-02[PATCH] v9fs: simplify fid mappingEric Van Hensbergen
v9fs has been plagued by an over-complicated approach trying to map Linux dentry semantics to Plan 9 fid semantics. Our previous approach called for aggressive flushing of the dcache resulting in several problems (including wierd cwd behavior when running /bin/pwd). This patch dramatically simplifies our handling of this fid management. Fids will not be clunked as promptly, but the new approach is more functionally correct. We now clunk un-open fids only when their dentry ref_count reaches 0 (and d_delete is called). Another simplification is we no longer seek to match fids to the process-id or uid of the action initiator. The uid-matching will need to be revisited when we fix the security model.

2006-01-08[PATCH] v9fs: handle kthread_create failure, minor bugfixesLatchesar Ionkov
- remove unnecessary -ENOMEM assignments - return correct value when buf_check_size for second time in a buffer - handle failures when create_workqueue and kthread_create are called - use kzalloc instead of kmalloc/memset 0 - v9fs_str_copy and v9fs_str_compare were buggy, were used only in one place, correct the logic and move it to the place it is used.

New multiplexer implementation. Decreases the number of kernel threads required. Better handling when the user process receives a signal.

2005-09-22[PATCH] v9fs: make copy of the transport prototype instead of using it directlyLatchesar Ionkov
When a new session is created it uses a template object of the specified transport type to instantiate its own copy. The code for the making a copy of the template object was lost, and the object itself is attached to the v9fs session. This leads to many sessions using the same transport instead of having their own copy. The patch puts back the code that makes a copy of the template object.
