2019-12-18Add VFS2 plumbing for extended attributes.Jamie Liu
PiperOrigin-RevId: 286281274
2019-12-11Add vfs.Pathname{WithDeleted,ForGetcwd}.Jamie Liu
The former is needed for vfs.FileDescription to implement memmap.MappingIdentity, and the latter is needed to implement getcwd(2). PiperOrigin-RevId: 285051855

2019-11-25Minor VFS2 interface changes.Jamie Liu
- Remove the Filesystem argument from DentryImpl.*Ref(); in general DentryImpls that need the Filesystem for reference counting will probably also need it for other interface methods that don't plumb Filesystem, so it's easier to just store a pointer to the filesystem in the DentryImpl. - Add a pointer to the VirtualFilesystem to Filesystem, which is needed by the gofer client to disown dentries for cache eviction triggered by dentry reference count changes. - Rename FilesystemType.NewFilesystem to GetFilesystem; in some cases (e.g. sysfs, cgroupfs) it's much cleaner for there to be only one Filesystem that is used by all mounts, and in at least one case (devtmpfs) it's visibly incorrect not to do so, so NewFilesystem doesn't always actually create and return a *new* Filesystem. - Require callers of FileDescription.Init() to increment Mount/Dentry references. This is because the gofer client may, in the OpenAt() path, take a reference on a dentry with 0 references, which is safe due to synchronization that is outside the scope of this CL, and it would be safer to still have its implementation of DentryImpl.IncRef() check for an increment for 0 references in other cases. - Add FileDescription.TryIncRef. This is used by the gofer client to take references on "special file descriptions" (FDs for files such as pipes, sockets, and devices), which use per-FD handles (fids) instead of dentry-shared handles, for sync() and syncfs().

2019-07-18Sentry virtual filesystem, v2Jamie Liu
Major differences from the current ("v1") sentry VFS: - Path resolution is Filesystem-driven (FilesystemImpl methods call vfs.ResolvingPath methods) rather than VFS-driven (fs package owns a Dirent tree and calls fs.InodeOperations methods to populate it). This drastically improves performance, primarily by reducing overhead from inefficient synchronization and indirection. It also makes it possible to implement remote filesystem protocols that translate FS system calls into single RPCs, rather than having to make (at least) one RPC per path component, significantly reducing the latency of remote filesystems (especially during cold starts and for uncacheable shared filesystems). - Mounts are correctly represented as a separate check based on contextual state (current mount) rather than direct replacement in a fs.Dirent tree. This makes it possible to support (non-recursive) bind mounts and mount namespaces. Included in this CL is fsimpl/memfs, an incomplete in-memory filesystem that exists primarily to demonstrate intended filesystem implementation patterns and for benchmarking: BenchmarkVFS1TmpfsStat/1-6 3000000 497 ns/op BenchmarkVFS1TmpfsStat/2-6 2000000 676 ns/op BenchmarkVFS1TmpfsStat/3-6 2000000 904 ns/op BenchmarkVFS1TmpfsStat/8-6 1000000 1944 ns/op BenchmarkVFS1TmpfsStat/64-6 100000 14067 ns/op BenchmarkVFS1TmpfsStat/100-6 50000 21700 ns/op BenchmarkVFS2MemfsStat/1-6 10000000 197 ns/op BenchmarkVFS2MemfsStat/2-6 5000000 233 ns/op BenchmarkVFS2MemfsStat/3-6 5000000 268 ns/op BenchmarkVFS2MemfsStat/8-6 3000000 477 ns/op BenchmarkVFS2MemfsStat/64-6 500000 2592 ns/op BenchmarkVFS2MemfsStat/100-6 300000 4045 ns/op BenchmarkVFS1TmpfsMountStat/1-6 2000000 679 ns/op BenchmarkVFS1TmpfsMountStat/2-6 2000000 912 ns/op BenchmarkVFS1TmpfsMountStat/3-6 1000000 1113 ns/op BenchmarkVFS1TmpfsMountStat/8-6 1000000 2118 ns/op BenchmarkVFS1TmpfsMountStat/64-6 100000 14251 ns/op BenchmarkVFS1TmpfsMountStat/100-6 100000 22397 ns/op BenchmarkVFS2MemfsMountStat/1-6 5000000 317 ns/op BenchmarkVFS2MemfsMountStat/2-6 5000000 361 ns/op BenchmarkVFS2MemfsMountStat/3-6 5000000 387 ns/op BenchmarkVFS2MemfsMountStat/8-6 3000000 582 ns/op BenchmarkVFS2MemfsMountStat/64-6 500000 2699 ns/op BenchmarkVFS2MemfsMountStat/100-6 300000 4133 ns/op From this we can infer that, on this machine: - Constant cost for tmpfs stat() is ~160ns in VFS2 and ~280ns in VFS1. - Per-path-component cost is ~35ns in VFS2 and ~215ns in VFS1, a difference of about 6x. - The cost of crossing a mount boundary is about 80ns in VFS2 (MemfsMountStat/1 does approximately the same amount of work as MemfsStat/2, except that it also crosses a mount boundary). This is an inescapable cost of the separate mount lookup needed to support bind mounts and mount namespaces. PiperOrigin-RevId: 258853946
