    ceph: directory operations · 2817b000
    Sage Weil authored
    Directory operations, including lookup, are defined here.  We take
    advantage of lookup intents when possible.  For the most part, we just
    need to build the proper requests for the metadata server(s) and
    pass things off to the mds_client.
    
    The results of most operations are normally incorporated into the
    client's cache when the reply is parsed by ceph_fill_trace().
    However, if the MDS replies without a trace (e.g., when retrying an
    update after an MDS failure recovery), some operation-specific cleanup
    may be needed.
    
    We can validate cached dentries in two ways.  A per-dentry lease may
    be issued by the MDS, or a per-directory cap may be issued that acts
    as a lease on the entire directory.  In the latter case, a 'gen' value
    is used to determine which dentries belong to the currently leased
    directory contents.
    
    We normally prepopulate the dcache and icache with readdir results.
    This makes subsequent lookups and getattrs avoid any server
    interaction.  It also lets us satisfy readdir operation by peeking at
    the dcache IFF we hold the per-directory cap/lease, previously
    performed a readdir, and haven't dropped any of the resulting
    dentries.
