80 * Null Layer
81 *
82 * (See mount_null(8) for more information.)
83 *
84 * The null layer duplicates a portion of the file system
85 * name space under a new name. In this respect, it is
86 * similar to the loopback file system. It differs from
87 * the loopback fs in two respects: it is implemented using
88 * a stackable layers technique, and its "null-nodes" stack above
89 * all lower-layer vnodes, not just over directory vnodes.
90 *
91 * The null layer has two purposes. First, it serves as a demonstration
92 * of layering by providing a layer which does nothing (it actually
93 * does everything the loopback file system does, which is slightly
94 * more than nothing). Second, the null layer can serve as a prototype
95 * layer. Since it provides all necessary layer framework,
96 * new file system layers can be created very easily by starting
97 * with a null layer.
98 *
99 * The remainder of this comment examines the null layer as a basis
100 * for constructing new layers.
101 *
102 *
103 * INSTANTIATING NEW NULL LAYERS
104 *
105 * New null layers are created with mount_null(8).
106 * mount_null(8) takes two arguments, the pathname
107 * of the lower vfs (target-pn) and the pathname where the null
108 * layer will appear in the namespace (alias-pn). After
109 * the null layer is put into place, the contents
110 * of target-pn subtree will be aliased under alias-pn.
111 *
112 *
113 * OPERATION OF A NULL LAYER
114 *
115 * The null layer is the minimum file system layer,
116 * simply bypassing all possible operations to the lower layer
117 * for processing there. The majority of its activity centers
118 * on the bypass routine, through which nearly all vnode operations
119 * pass.
120 *
121 * The bypass routine accepts arbitrary vnode operations for
122 * handling by the lower layer. It begins by examining vnode
123 * operation arguments and replacing any null-nodes by their
124 * lower-layer equivalents. It then invokes the operation
125 * on the lower layer. Finally, it replaces the null-nodes
126 * in the arguments and, if a vnode is returned by the operation,
127 * stacks a null-node on top of the returned vnode.
128 *
129 * Although bypass handles most operations, vop_getattr, vop_lock,
130 * vop_unlock, vop_inactive, vop_reclaim, and vop_print are not
131 * bypassed. vop_getattr must change the fsid being returned.
132 * vop_lock and vop_unlock must handle any locking for the
133 * current vnode as well as pass the lock request down.
134 * vop_inactive and vop_reclaim are not bypassed so that
135 * they can handle freeing null-layer specific data. vop_print
136 * is not bypassed to avoid excessive debugging information.
137 * Also, certain vnode operations change the locking state within
138 * the operation (create, mknod, remove, link, rename, mkdir, rmdir,
139 * and symlink). Ideally these operations should not change the
140 * lock state, but should be changed to let the caller of the
141 * function unlock them. Otherwise all intermediate vnode layers
142 * (such as union, umapfs, etc) must catch these functions to do
143 * the necessary locking at their layer.
144 *
145 *
146 * INSTANTIATING VNODE STACKS
147 *
148 * Mounting associates the null layer with a lower layer,
149 * in effect stacking two VFSes. Vnode stacks are instead
150 * created on demand as files are accessed.
151 *
152 * The initial mount creates a single vnode stack for the
153 * root of the new null layer. All other vnode stacks
154 * are created as a result of vnode operations on
155 * this or other null vnode stacks.
156 *
157 * New vnode stacks come into existence as a result of
158 * an operation which returns a vnode.
159 * The bypass routine stacks a null-node above the new
160 * vnode before returning it to the caller.
161 *
162 * For example, imagine mounting a null layer with
163 * "mount_null /usr/include /dev/layer/null".
164 * Changing directory to /dev/layer/null will assign
165 * the root null-node (which was created when the null layer was mounted).
166 * Now consider opening "sys". A vop_lookup would be
167 * done on the root null-node. This operation would bypass through
168 * to the lower layer which would return a vnode representing
169 * the UFS "sys". null_bypass then builds a null-node
170 * aliasing the UFS "sys" and returns this to the caller.
171 * Later operations on the null-node "sys" will repeat this
172 * process when constructing other vnode stacks.
173 *
174 *
175 * CREATING OTHER FILE SYSTEM LAYERS
176 *
177 * One of the easiest ways to construct new file system layers is to make
178 * a copy of the null layer, rename all files and variables, and
179 * then begin modifying the copy. sed(1) can be used to easily rename
180 * all variables.
181 *
182 * The umap layer is an example of a layer descended from the
183 * null layer.
184 *
185 *
186 * INVOKING OPERATIONS ON LOWER LAYERS
187 *
188 * There are two techniques to invoke operations on a lower layer
189 * when the operation cannot be completely bypassed. Each method
190 * is appropriate in different situations. In both cases,
191 * it is the responsibility of the aliasing layer to make
192 * the operation arguments "correct" for the lower layer
193 * by mapping any vnode arguments to the lower layer.
194 *
195 * The first approach is to call the aliasing layer's bypass routine.
196 * This method is most suitable when you wish to invoke the operation
197 * currently being handled on the lower layer. It has the advantage
198 * that the bypass routine already must do argument mapping.
199 * An example of this is null_getattrs in the null layer.
200 *
201 * A second approach is to directly invoke vnode operations on
202 * the lower layer with the VOP_OPERATIONNAME interface.
203 * The advantage of this method is that it is easy to invoke
204 * arbitrary operations on the lower layer. The disadvantage
205 * is that vnode arguments must be manually mapped.
