+
+=========
+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.

+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.
