[RFC v16][PATCH 09/43] c/r: dump open file descriptors

From: Oren Laadan
Date: Wed May 27 2009 - 14:37:29 EST


Dump the file table with 'struct ckpt_hdr_file_table, followed by all
open file descriptors. Because the 'struct file' corresponding to an
fd can be shared, they are assigned an objref and registered in the
object hash. A reference to the 'file *' is kept for as long as it
lives in the hash (the hash is only cleaned up at the end of the
checkpoint).

Also provide generic_checkpoint_file() and generic_restore_file()
which is good for normal files and directories. It does not support
yet unlinked files or directories.

Changelog[v16]:
- Reorder patch (move earlier in series)
- Handle shared files_struct objects

Changelog[v14]:
- File objects are dumped/restored prior to the first reference
- Introduce a per file-type restore() callback
- Use struct file_operations->checkpoint()
- Put code for generic file descriptors in a separate function
- Use one CKPT_FILE_GENERIC for both regular files and dirs
- Revert change to pr_debug(), back to ckpt_debug()
- Use only unsigned fields in checkpoint headers
- Rename: ckpt_write_files() => checkpoint_fd_table()
- Rename: ckpt_write_fd_data() => checkpoint_file()
- Discard field 'h->parent'

Changelog[v12]:
- Replace obsolete ckpt_debug() with pr_debug()

Changelog[v11]:
- Discard handling of opened symlinks (there is no such thing)
- ckpt_scan_fds() retries from scratch if hits size limits

Changelog[v9]:
- Fix a couple of leaks in ckpt_write_files()
- Drop useless kfree from ckpt_scan_fds()

Changelog[v8]:
- initialize 'coe' to workaround gcc false warning

Changelog[v6]:
- Balance all calls to ckpt_hbuf_get() with matching ckpt_hbuf_put()
(even though it's not really needed)
