/* ProcFS supports two groups of files: dynamic files, which are created within
|
||
|
|
* process-specific (PID) directories, and static files, which are global. For
|
||
|
|
* both, the following structure is used to construct the files.
|
||
|
|
*
|
||
|
|
* For dynamic files, the rules are simple: only regular files are supported
|
||
|
|
* (although partial support for symbolic links is already present), and the
|
||
|
|
* 'data' field must be filled with a pointer to a function of the type:
|
||
|
|
*
|
||
|
|
* void (*)(int slot)
|
||
|
|
*
|
||
|
|
* The function will be called whenever a read request for the file is made;
|
||
|
|
* 'slot' contains the kernel slot number of the process being queried (so for
|
||
|
|
* the PM and VFS process tables, NR_TASKS has to be subtracted from the slot
|
||
|
|
* number to find the right slot). The function is expected to produce
|
||
|
|
* appropriate output using the buf_printf() function.
|
||
|
|
*
|
||
|
|
* For static files, regular files and directories are supported. For
|
||
|
|
* directories, the 'data' field must be a pointer to another 'struct file'
|
||
|
|
* array that specifies the contents of the directory - this directory will
|
||
|
|
* the be created recursively. For regular files, the 'data' field must point
|
||
|
|
* to a function of the type:
|
||
|
|
*
|
||
|
|
* void (*)(void)
|
||
|
|
*
|
||
|
|
* Here too, the function will be called upon a read request, and it is
|
||
|
|
* supposed to "fill" the file using buf_printf(). Obviously, for static files,
|
||
|
|
* there is no slot number.
|
||
|
|
*
|
||
|
|
* For both static and dynamic files, 'mode' must specify the file type as well
|
||
|
|
* as the access mode, and in both cases, each array is terminated with an
|
||
|
|
* entry that has its name set to NULL.

|
/* The internal link between static/dynamic files/directories and VTreeFS'
|
||
|
|
* indexes and cbdata values is as follows:
|
||
|
|
* - Dynamic directories are always PID directories in the root directory.
|
||
|
|
* They are generated automatically, and are not specified using a "struct
|
||
|
|
* file" structure. Their index is their slot number, so that getdents()
|
||
|
|
* calls always return any PID at most once. Their cbdata value is the PID of
|
||
|
|
* the process associated with that dynamic directory, for the purpose of
|
||
|
|
* comparing old and new PIDs after updating process tables (without having
|
||
|
|
* to atoi() the directory's name).
|
||
|
|
* - Dynamic files are always in such a dynamic directory. Their index is the
|
||
|
|
* array index into the "struct file" array of pid files (pid_files[]). They
|
||
|
|
* are indexed at all, because they may be deleted at any time due to inode
|
||
|
|
* shortages, independently of other dynamic files in the same directory, and
|
||
|
|
* recreating them without index would again risk possibly inconsistent
|
||
|
|
* getdents() results, where for example the same file shows up twice.
|
||
|
|
* VTreeFS currently does not distinguish between indexed and delatable files
|
||
|
|
* and hence, all dynamic files must be indexed so as to be deletable anyway.
|
||
|
|
* - Static directories have no index (they are not and must not be deletable),
|
||
|
|
* and although their cbdata is their associated 'data' field from their
|
||
|
|
* "struct file" entries, their cbdata value is currently not relied on
|
||
|
|
* anywhere. Then again, as of writing, there are no static directories at
|
||
|
|
* all.
|
||
|
|
* - Static files have no index either (for the same reason). Their cbdata is
|
||
|
|
* also their 'data' field from the "struct file" entry creating the file,
|
||
|
|
* and this is used to actually call the callback function directly.
