 1.17  18-May-2024  thorpej Remove unecessary include of <sys/malloc.h>.
 1.16  12-Sep-2022  christos kmem_alloc -> kmem_zalloc, thanks Rin.
 1.15  11-Sep-2022  christos catch up; make this compile again.
 1.14  17-Jan-2020  ad VFS_VGET(), VFS_ROOT(), VFS_FHTOVP(): give them a "int lktype" argument, to
allow us to get shared locks (or no lock) on the returned vnode. Matches
FreeBSD.
 1.13  16-Apr-2014  maxv branches: 1.13.28; 1.13.34;
An (un)privileged user can easily make the kernel dereference a NULL
pointer.

The kernel allows 'data' to be NULL; it's the fs's responsibility to
ensure that it isn't NULL (if the fs actually needs data).

ok christos@
 1.12  23-Mar-2014  hannken branches: 1.12.2;
Change all vfsops to use C99 designated initializers.

No functional changes intended.
 1.11  25-Feb-2014  pooka Ensure that the top level sysctl nodes (kern, vfs, net, ...) exist before
the sysctl link sets are processed, and remove redundancy.

Shaves >13kB off of an amd64 GENERIC, not to mention >1k duplicate
lines of code.
 1.10  05-Nov-2012  dholland branches: 1.10.2;
Fix build of fs/unionfs (the extra unused copy of onionfs) for the
quota changes.
 1.9  06-Mar-2011  bouyer branches: 1.9.4; 1.9.10; 1.9.14; 1.9.16; 1.9.18;
merge the bouyer-quota2 branch. This adds a new on-disk format
to store disk quota usage and limits, integrated with ffs
metadata. Usage is checked by fsck_ffs (no more quotacheck)
and is covered by the WAPBL journal. Enabled with kernel
option QUOTA2 (added where QUOTA was enabled in kernel config files),
turned on with tunefs(8) on a per-filesystem
basis. mount_mfs(8) can also turn quotas on.

See http://mail-index.netbsd.org/tech-kern/2011/02/19/msg010025.html
for details.
 1.8  19-Nov-2010  dholland branches: 1.8.2; 1.8.4;
Introduce struct pathbuf. This is an abstraction to hold a pathname
and the metadata required to interpret it. Callers of namei must now
create a pathbuf and pass it to NDINIT (instead of a string and a
uio_seg), then destroy the pathbuf after the namei session is
complete.

Update all namei call sites accordingly. Add a pathbuf(9) man page and
update namei(9).

The pathbuf interface also now appears in a couple of related
additional places that were passing string/uio_seg pairs that were
later fed into NDINIT. Update other call sites accordingly.
 1.7  24-Jun-2010  hannken Clean up vnode lock operations pass 2:

VOP_UNLOCK(vp, flags) -> VOP_UNLOCK(vp): Remove the unneeded flags argument.

Welcome to 5.99.32.

Discussed on tech-kern.
 1.6  05-Dec-2008  ad branches: 1.6.6; 1.6.8;
PR kern/40110: null, overlay and umap modules loading -> panic (layerfs symbols not there)

Add a layerfs module.
 1.5  28-Jun-2008  rumble branches: 1.5.2; 1.5.4; 1.5.6; 1.5.12; 1.5.16;
Create sysctl entries during module initialisation and destroy them
appropriately.

Many of these file systems are now ready for modularisation.
 1.4  13-May-2008  simonb branches: 1.4.2;
mnt_data is a pointer, set it to NULL not 0 when we're finished with it.
 1.3  10-May-2008  rumble Convert file systems to dynamically attach with the new module interface.
Make VFS hooks dynamic while we're here and say farewell to VFS_ATTACH and
VFS_HOOKS_ATTACH linksets.

As a consequence, most of the file systems can now be loaded as new style
modules.

Quick sanity check by ad@.

 1.8.4.1  20-Jan-2011  bouyer Snapshot of work in progress on a modernised disk quota system:
- new quotactl syscall (versionned for backward compat), which takes
as parameter a path to a mount point, and a prop_dictionary
(in plistref format) describing commands and arguments.
For each command, status and data are returned as a prop_dictionary.
quota commands features will be added to take advantage of this,
exporting quota data or getting quota commands as plists.

- new on disk-format storage (all 64bit wide), integrated to metadata for
ffs (and playing nicely with wapbl).
Quotas are enabled on a ffs filesystem via superblock flags.
tunefs(8) can enable or disable quotas.
On a quota-enabled filesystem, fsck_ffs(8) will track per-uid/gid
block and inode usages, and will check and update quotas in Pass 6.
quota usage and limits are stored in unliked files (one for users,
one for groups)l fsck_ffs(8) will create the files if needed, or
free them if needed. This means that after enabling or disabling
quotas on a filesystem; a fsck_ffs(8) run is required.
quotacheck(8) is not needed any more, on a unclean shutdown
fsck or journal replay will take care of fixing quotas.
newfs(8) can create a ready-to-mount quota-enabled filesystem
(superblock flags are set and quota inodes are created).
Other new features or semantic changes:
- default quota datas, applied to users or groups which don't already
have a quota entry
- per-user/group grace time (instead of a filesystem global one)
- 0 really means "nothing allowed at all", not "no limit".
If you want "no limit", set the limit to UQUAD_MAX (tools will
understand "unlimited" and "-")

A quota file is structured as follow:
it starts with a header, containing a few per-filesystem values,
and the default quota limits.
Quota entries are linked together as a simple list, each entry has a
pointer (as an offset withing the file) to the next.
The header has a pointer to a list of free quota entries, and
a hash table of in-use entries. The size of the hash table depends
on the filesystem block size (header+hash table should fit in the
first block). The file is not sparse and is a multiple of
filesystem block size (when the free quota entry list is empty a new
filesystem block is allocated). quota entries to not cross
filesystem block boundaries.

In memory, the kernel keeps a cache of recently used quota entries
as a reference to the block number, and offset withing the block.
The quota entry itself is keept in the buf cache.

fsck_ffs(8), tunefs(8) and newfs(8) supports are completed (with
related atf tests :)
The kernel can update disk usage and report it via quotactl(2).

Todo: enforce quotas limits (limits are not checked by kernel yet)
update repquota, edquota and rpc.rquotad to the new world
implement compat_50_quotactl ioctl.
update quotactl(2) man page

fsck_ffs required fixes so that allocating new blocks or inodes will
properly update the superblock and cg sumaries. This was not an issue up
to now because superblock and cg sumaries check happened last, but now
allocations or frees can happen in pass 6.

Limit check for 'data_len'. Otherwise a (un)privileged user can easily
panic the system by passing a huge size.
ok christos@

pointer.
The kernel allows 'data' to be NULL; it's the fs's responsibility to
ensure that it isn't NULL (if the fs actually needs data).
ok christos@
Some fs's - like kernfs - set their vfs_min_mount_data to zero. Add a check
to prevent an (un)privileged user from requesting a zero-sized allocation
(and thus a panic).
This thing is totally buggy: 'data_len' is modified by the fs, so calling
kmem_free with it while its value has changed since the kmem_alloc is far
from being a good idea.
If the kernel figures out that something mismatches, it will panic
(typically with kernfs).

Limit check for 'data_len'. Otherwise a (un)privileged user can easily
panic the system by passing a huge size.
ok christos@
An (un)privileged user can easily make the kernel dereference a NULL
pointer.
The kernel allows 'data' to be NULL; it's the fs's responsibility to
ensure that it isn't NULL (if the fs actually needs data).
ok christos@
Some fs's - like kernfs - set their vfs_min_mount_data to zero. Add a check
to prevent an (un)privileged user from requesting a zero-sized allocation
(and thus a panic).
This thing is totally buggy: 'data_len' is modified by the fs, so calling
kmem_free with it while its value has changed since the kmem_alloc is far
from being a good idea.
If the kernel figures out that something mismatches, it will panic
(typically with kernfs).
