This document describes interfaces which are not yet guaranteed to be stable. In case you update your system sources, please recompile everything and fix complation errors. If your sources are out-of-sync, incorrect operation may result. The interfaces in this document will most likely be hugely simplified in later versions or made transparent to the implementation.

p The operations .Nm puffs requires to function can be divided into two categories: file system callbacks and node callbacks. The former affect the entire file system while the latter are targeted at a file or a directory and a file. They are roughly equivalent to the vfs and vnode operations in the kernel.

p All callbacks can be prototyped with the file system name and operation name using the macro .Fn PUFFSOP_PROTOS fsname . .Ss File system callbacks (puffs_fs) l -tag -width xxxx t Fn puffs_fs_statvfs "pcc" "sbp" "pid" The following fields of the argument .Fa sbp need to be filled: d -literal * unsigned long f_bsize; file system block size * unsigned long f_frsize; fundamental file system block size * fsblkcnt_t f_blocks; number of blocks in file system, * (in units of f_frsize) * * fsblkcnt_t f_bfree; free blocks avail in file system * fsblkcnt_t f_bavail; free blocks avail to non-root * fsblkcnt_t f_bresvd; blocks reserved for root * fsfilcnt_t f_files; total file nodes in file system * fsfilcnt_t f_ffree; free file nodes in file system * fsfilcnt_t f_favail; free file nodes avail to non-root * fsfilcnt_t f_fresvd; file nodes reserved for root .Ed The process requiring this information is given by .Fa pid . t Fn puffs_fs_sync "pcc" "waitfor" "pcr" "pid" All the dirty buffers that have been cached at the file server level including metadata should be committed to stable storage. The .Fa waitfor parameter affects the operation. Possible values are: l -tag -width XMNT_NOWAITX t Dv MNT_WAIT Wait for all I/O for complete until returning. t Dv MNT_NOWAIT Initiate I/O, but do not wait for completion. t Dv MNT_LAZY Synchorize data not synchoronized by the file system syncer, i.e. data not written when .Fn node_fsync is called with .Dv FSYNC_LAZY . .El

p The credentials for the initiator of the sync operation are present in .Fa pcr and will usually be either file system or kernel credentials, but might also be user credentials. However, most of the time it is advisable to sync regardless of the credentials of the caller. t Fn puffs_fs_unmount "pcc" "flags" "pid" Unmount the file system. The kernel has assumedly flushed all cached data when this callback is executed. If the file system cannot currently be safely be unmounted, for whatever reason, the kernel will honor an error value and not forcibly unmount. However, if the flag .Dv MNT_FORCE is not honored by the file server, the kernel will forcibly unmount the file system. .El .Ss Node callbacks These operations operate in the level of individual files. The file cookie is always provided as the second argument .Fa opc . If the operation is for a file, it will be the cookie of the file. The case the operation involves a directory (such as .Dq create file in directory ) , the cookie will be for the directory. Some operations take additional cookies to describe the rest of the operands. The return value 0 signals success, else an appropriate errno value should be returned. Please note that neither this list nor the descriptions are complete. l -tag -width xxxx t Fn puffs_node_lookup "pcc" "opc" "newnode" "newtype" "newsize" "newrdev" "pcn" This function is used to locate nodes, or in other words translate pathname components to file system data structures. The implementation should match the name in .Fa pcn against the existing entries in the directory provided by the cookie .Fa opc . If found, the cookie for the located node should be returned in .Fa newnode . Additionally, the type and size (latter applicable to regular files only) should be returned in .Fa newtype and .Fa newsize , respectively. If the located entry is a block device or character device file, the dev_t for the entry should be returned in .Fa newrdev .

p The type of operation is found from .Va pcn->pcn_nameiop : l -tag -width XPUFFSLOOKUP_LOOKUPX t Dv PUFFSLOOKUP_LOOKUP Normal lookup operation. t Dv PUFFSLOOKUP_CREATE Lookup to create a node. t Dv PUFFSLOOKUP_DELETE Lookup for node deletion. t Dv PUFFSLOOKUP_RENAME Lookup for the target of a rename operation (source will be looked up using .Dv PUFFSLOOKUP_DELETE ). .El

p The final component from a pathname lookup usually requires special treatment. It can be identified by looking at the .Va pcn->pcn_flags fields for the flag .Dv PUFFSLOOKUP_ISLASTCN . For example, in most cases the lookup operation will want to check if a delete, rename or create operation has enough credentials to perform the operation.

p The return value 0 signals a found node and a nonzero value signals an errno. As a special case, .Er ENOENT signals "success" for cases where the lookup operation is .Dv PUFFSLOOKUP_CREATE or .Dv PUFFSLOOKUP_RENAME . Failure in these cases can be signalled by returning another appropriate error code, for example .Er EACCESS . t Fn puffs_node_getattr "pcc" "opc" "va" "pcr" "pid" The attributes of the node specified by .Fa opc must be copied to the space pointed by .Fa va . t Fn puffs_node_setattr "pcc" "opc" "va" "pcr" "pid" The attributes for the node specified by .Fa opc must be set to those contained in .Fa va . Only fields of .Fa va which contain a value different from .Dv PUFFS_VNOVAL (typecast to the field's type!) contain a valid value. .El

p A file node is created in the directory specified by the cookie when .Fn puffs_node_create is called. The attributes are specified by .Fa va and the cookie for the newly created node should be returned in .Fa newnode . Similarly, .Fn puffs_node_mkdir creates a directory.

p .Fn puffs_node_remove removes the file .Fa targ from the directory indicated by the cookie. Similarly, .Fn puffs_node_rmdir removes a directory. The name of the directory entry to remove is described by .Fa pcn .

p To read directory entries, .Fn puffs_node_readdir is called. It should store directories as struct dirents in the space pointed to by .Fa dent . The amount of space available is given by .Fa reslen and before returning it should be set to the amount of space .Em remaining in the buffer. The argument .Fa offset is used to specify the offset to the directory. Its intepretation is up to the file systme and it should be set to signal the continuation point when there is no more room for the next entry in .Fa dent . It is most performant to return the maximal amount of directory entries each call. In case the directory was exhausted, the parameters should not be modified to signal end-of-directory.

p A node rename is done by calling .Fn puffs_node_rename . If the destination file cookie is non-null, it must be removed and the new entry overwritten atomically. The directory entry names to be used are described by the struct puffs_cn's (cf. create and remove).

p A hard link is created by .Fn puffs_node_link . In practice this means adding a directory entry described by .Fa pcn to the cookied directory and the entry pointing to the target node.

p A symbolic link in turn is created by .Fn puffs_node_symlink . It is similar to creating a regular file, except that .Fa link_target specifies the target of the link which should be set for the link.

p To read the target of a symbolic link, .Fa puffs_node_readlink is called. The path in the link target should be copied to .Fa link and the length without the terminating nul set in .Fa linklen .

p A device node is created using .Fn puffs_node_mknod . The only difference to creating a normal file is that the attribute struct contains the device identifier in .Fa va-\*[Gt]va_rdev .

p Files are opened with a call to .Fn puffs_node_open . Most of the time this can be left unimplemented, unless special resource allocation is required.

p .Fn puffs_node_close releases all the resources allocated by .Fn puffs_node_open .

p To check if access of type .Va mode to a file is allowed, .Fn puffs_node_access is called. This controls file access, not e.g. .Fn puffs_node_open .

p .Fn puffs_node_read reads the contents of a file. It will gather the data from .Fa offset in the file and read the number .Fa resid octets. The buffer is guaranteed to have this much space. The amount of data requested by .Fa resid should be read, except in the case of eof-of-file or an error. The parameter .Fa resid should be set to indicate the amount of request NOT completed. In the normal case this should be 0.

p .Fn puffs_node_write writes data to a file at .Fa offset extending the file if necessary. The number of octets written is indicated by .Fa resid ; everything must be written or an error will be generated. The parameter must be set to indicate the amount of data NOT written. In case the flag .Dv PUFFS_IO_APPEND is specified, the data should be appended to the end of the file.

p .Fn puffs_node_reclaim signals that the cookie will no longer be referenced without a further call to .Fn puffs_node_lookup . This information can be used to free resources and specifically release a file for which no directory entries remain.

p .Fn puffs_node_inactive signals that the kernel has released its last reference to the node. However, the cookie must still remain valid until .Fn puffs_node_reclaim is called. The file system should return its internal reference count on the file (usually number of links to the file) in .Fa refcount . If this is zero, the kernel will call reclaim immediately. .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr puffs 3 , .Xr vfsops 9 , .Xr vnodeops 9
