What: dv1394 (a.k.a. "OHCI-DV I/O support" for FireWire)
Date: May 2010 (scheduled), finally removed in kernel v2.6.37
Contact: linux1394-devel@lists.sourceforge.net
Description:
/dev/dv1394/* were character device files, one for each FireWire
controller and for NTSC and PAL respectively, from which DV data
could be received by read() or transmitted by write(). A few
ioctl()s allowed limited control.
This special-purpose interface has been superseded by libraw1394 +
libiec61883 which are functionally equivalent, support HDV, and
transparently work on top of the newer firewire kernel drivers.

What: raw1394 (a.k.a. "Raw IEEE1394 I/O support" for FireWire)
Date: May 2010 (scheduled), finally removed in kernel v2.6.37
Contact: linux1394-devel@lists.sourceforge.net
Description:
/dev/raw1394 was a character device file that allowed low-level
access to FireWire buses. Its major drawbacks were its inability
to implement sensible device security policies, and its low level
of abstraction that required userspace clients do duplicate much
of the kernel's ieee1394 core functionality.
Replaced by /dev/fw*, i.e. the <linux/firewire-cdev.h> ABI of
firewire-core.

What: video1394 (a.k.a. "OHCI-1394 Video support" for FireWire)
Date: May 2010 (scheduled), finally removed in kernel v2.6.37
Contact: linux1394-devel@lists.sourceforge.net
Description:
/dev/video1394/* were character device files, one for each FireWire
controller, which were used for isochronous I/O. It was added as an
alternative to raw1394's isochronous I/O functionality which had
performance issues in its first generation. Any video1394 user had
to use raw1394 + libraw1394 too because video1394 did not provide
asynchronous I/O for device discovery and configuration.
Replaced by /dev/fw*, i.e. the <linux/firewire-cdev.h> ABI of
firewire-core.

=========
ID Mapper
=========
Id mapper is used by NFS to translate user and group ids into names, and to
translate user and group names into ids. Part of this translation involves
performing an upcall to userspace to request the information. Id mapper will
user request-key to perform this upcall and cache the result. The program
/usr/sbin/nfs.idmap should be called by request-key, and will perform the
translation and initialize a key with the resulting information.

NFS_USE_NEW_IDMAPPER must be selected when configuring the kernel to use this
feature.

===========
Configuring
===========
The file /etc/request-key.conf will need to be modified so /sbin/request-key can
direct the upcall. The following line should be added:

#OP TYPE DESCRIPTION CALLOUT INFO PROGRAM ARG1 ARG2 ARG3 ...
#====== ======= =============== =============== ===============================
create id_resolver * * /usr/sbin/nfs.idmap %k %d 600

This will direct all id_resolver requests to the program /usr/sbin/nfs.idmap.
The last parameter, 600, defines how many seconds into the future the key will
expire. This parameter is optional for /usr/sbin/nfs.idmap. When the timeout
is not specified, nfs.idmap will default to 600 seconds.

id mapper uses for key descriptions:
uid: Find the UID for the given user
gid: Find the GID for the given group
user: Find the user name for the given UID
group: Find the group name for the given GID

You can handle any of these individually, rather than using the generic upcall
program. If you would like to use your own program for a uid lookup then you
would edit your request-key.conf so it look similar to this:

#OP TYPE DESCRIPTION CALLOUT INFO PROGRAM ARG1 ARG2 ARG3 ...
#====== ======= =============== =============== ===============================
create id_resolver uid:* * /some/other/program %k %d 600
create id_resolver * * /usr/sbin/nfs.idmap %k %d 600

Notice that the new line was added above the line for the generic program.
request-key will find the first matching line and corresponding program. In
this case, /some/other/program will handle all uid lookups and
/usr/sbin/nfs.idmap will handle gid, user, and group lookups.

See <file:Documentation/keys-request-keys.txt> for more information about the
request-key function.


=========
nfs.idmap
=========
nfs.idmap is designed to be called by request-key, and should not be run "by
hand". This program takes two arguments, a serialized key and a key
description. The serialized key is first converted into a key_serial_t, and
then passed as an argument to keyctl_instantiate (both are part of keyutils.h).

The actual lookups are performed by functions found in nfsidmap.h. nfs.idmap
determines the correct function to call by looking at the first part of the
description string. For example, a uid lookup description will appear as
"uid:user@domain".

nfs.idmap will return 0 if the key was instantiated, and non-zero otherwise.

nfsrootdebug

This parameter enables debugging messages to appear in the kernel
log at boot time so that administrators can verify that the correct
NFS mount options, server address, and root path are passed to the
NFS client.


rdinit=<executable file>

To specify which file contains the program that starts system
initialization, administrators can use this command line parameter.
The default value of this parameter is "/init". If the specified
file exists and the kernel can execute it, root filesystem related
kernel command line parameters, including `nfsroot=', are ignored.

Reference counting in pnfs:
==========================

The are several inter-related caches. We have layouts which can
reference multiple devices, each of which can reference multiple data servers.
Each data server can be referenced by multiple devices. Each device
can be referenced by multiple layouts. To keep all of this straight,
we need to reference count.


struct pnfs_layout_hdr
----------------------
The on-the-wire command LAYOUTGET corresponds to struct
pnfs_layout_segment, usually referred to by the variable name lseg.
Each nfs_inode may hold a pointer to a cache of of these layout
segments in nfsi->layout, of type struct pnfs_layout_hdr.

We reference the header for the inode pointing to it, across each
outstanding RPC call that references it (LAYOUTGET, LAYOUTRETURN,
LAYOUTCOMMIT), and for each lseg held within.

Each header is also (when non-empty) put on a list associated with
struct nfs_client (cl_layouts). Being put on this list does not bump
the reference count, as the layout is kept around by the lseg that
keeps it in the list.

deviceid_cache
--------------
lsegs reference device ids, which are resolved per nfs_client and
layout driver type. The device ids are held in a RCU cache (struct
nfs4_deviceid_cache). The cache itself is referenced across each
mount. The entries (struct nfs4_deviceid) themselves are held across
the lifetime of each lseg referencing them.

RCU is used because the deviceid is basically a write once, read many
data structure. The hlist size of 32 buckets needs better
justification, but seems reasonable given that we can have multiple
deviceid's per filesystem, and multiple filesystems per nfs_client.

The hash code is copied from the nfsd code base. A discussion of
hashing and variations of this algorithm can be found at:
http://groups.google.com/group/comp.lang.c/browse_thread/thread/9522965e2b8d3809

data server cache
-----------------
file driver devices refer to data servers, which are kept in a module
level cache. Its reference is held over the lifetime of the deviceid
pointing to it.
