Subject: [PATCH 0/5] hybrid union filesystem prototype
Date: Thu, 26 Aug 2010 20:33:40 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20100826183340.027591901@szeredi.hu> (raw)
This is the result of my experimentation with trying to do
union-mounts like semantics with a filesystem. The implementation is
far from perfect, but I think the concept does sort of work. See the
patch header for the union filesystem.
VFS modifications necessary to make it work:
- allow f_op->open() to return a different file
- pass dentry to i_op->permission() instead of inode
- hack to vfs_rename() to allow rename to same inode
Git tree is here:
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mszeredi/vfs.git union-hybrid
Thanks,
Miklos
