Here's a patch to allow the kAFS filesystem to use the automount facility
patch presented in a previous email.

It allows me to mount an AFS root volume on /afs and then just walk through
the directory structure causing referenced volumes to be automounted and
autoumounted.

For instance, if I do:

	[root@andromeda root]# mount -t afs \#root.afs. /afs
	[root@andromeda root]# ls /afs
	asd  cambridge  cambridge.redhat.com  grand.central.org
	[root@andromeda root]# ls /afs/cambridge
	afsdoc
	[root@andromeda root]# ls /afs/cambridge/afsdoc/
	ChangeLog  html  LICENSE  pdf  RELNOTES-1.2.2

And then look in the mountpoint catalogue, I see:

	[root@andromeda root]# cat /proc/mounts
	...
	#root.afs. /afs afs rw 0 0
	#root.cell. /afs/cambridge.redhat.com afs rw 0 0
	#afsdoc. /afs/cambridge.redhat.com/afsdoc afs rw 0 0

Then after waiting a few minutes:

	[root@andromeda root]# cat /proc/mounts
	...
	#root.afs. /afs afs rw 0 0

Is all that remains.

Here's a patch that I worked out with Al Viro that adds support for a
filesystem (such as kAFS) to perform automounting intrinsically without the
need for a userspace daemon.  It also adds support for such mountpoints to be
degraded at the filesystem's behest until they've been untouched long enough
that they'll be removed.

I've a patch (to follow) that removes some #ifdef's from fs/afs/* thus
allowing it to make use of this facility.

There are five pieces to this:

 (1) Any interested filesystem needs to have at least one list to which
     expirable mountpoints can be added.

     Access to this list is governed by the vfsmount_lock.

 (2) When a filesystem wants to create an expirable mount, it calls
     do_kern_mount() to get a handle on the filesystem it wants mounting, and
     then calls do_add_mount() to mount that filesystem on the designated
     mountpoint, supplying the list mentioned in (1) to which the vfsmount
     will be added.

     In kAFS's case, the mountpoint is a directory with a follow_link() method
     defined (fs/afs/mntpt.c). This uses the struct nameidata supplied as an
     argument as a determination of where the new filesystem should be
     mounted.

 (3) When something using a vfsmount finishes dealing with it, it calls
     mntput(). This unmarks the vfsmount for immediate expiry.

     There are two criteria for determining if a vfsmount may be expired - it
     mustn't be marked as in use for anything other than being a child of
     another vfsmount, and it must have an expiry mark against it already.

 (4) The filesystem then determines the policy on expiring the mounts created
     in (2). When it feels the need to, it passes the list mentioned in (1) to
     mark_mounts_for_expiry() to request everything on the list be expired.

     This function examines each mount listed. If the vfsmount meets the
     criteria mentioned in (3), then the vfsmount is deleted from the
     namespace and disposed of as for unmounting; otherwise the vfsmount is
     left untouched apart from now bearing an expiration mark if it didn't
     before.

     kAFS's expiration policy is simply to invoke this process at regular
     intervals for all the mounts on its list.

 (5) An expiration facility is also provided to userspace: by calling umount()
     with a MNT_EXPIRE flag, it can make a request to unmount only if the
     mountpoint hasn't been used since the last request and isn't in use now.

     This allows expiration to be driven by userspace instead of by the
     kernel if that is desirable.

     This also means that do_umount() has to use a different version of
     path_release() to everyone else... it can't call mntput() as that clears
     the expiration flag, thus rendering this unachievable; so it's version of
     path_release() calls _mntput(), which doesn't do the clear.

My original idea was to give the kernel more knowledge of automounted
things. This avoids a certain problem with stat() on a mountpoint causing it
to mount (for example, do "ls -l /afs" on a machine with kAFS), but Al wanted
it done this way.

> Why is autofs unsuitable?

Because:

 (1) Autofs is flat; AFS requires a tree - mounts on mounts on mounts on
     mounts...

 (2) AFS holds the data as to what the mountpoints are and where they go, and
     these may be cross-links to subtrees beyond your control. It's also not
     trivial to extract a list of mountpoints as is required for autofs.

 (3) Autofs is not namespace safe.

 (4) Ducking back to userspace to get that to do the mount is pretty tricky if
     namespaces are involved.

In fact, autofs may well want to make use of this facility.

This include isn't required for ARM builds either.

Apparantly, the reason for this change is that it gives "much less
NFS stalls with a SMC91C96 on a 10/100MB switch."

Alan Cox's comments on this is:
"spec says 16 collision retries max _ever_.  I bet his 'broken
switch' is a case of half v full duplex" and a recommendation to
remove it.

Also, since the change does not limit the number of times we may
retry to send the packet, I think this code opens a potential DoS
attack against network which has a machine connected running this
code.

Added a new scrolling mode (SCROLL_PAN_REDRAW) to fbcon that should greatly
benefit unaccelerated drivers such as VESA fbdev.  An increase of 3-10 times
in scrolling speed can be expected.

Currently, fbcon has 4 different scrolling methods (1-4).  Potentially, we can
have 6.  This patch implements SCROLL_PAN_REDRAW (5).  SCROLL_WRAP_REDRAW (6)
is still unimplemented.

Scroll Mode		Operation	YPan	YWrap
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
1. SCROLL_ACCEL		copyarea	No	No
2. SCROLL_REDRAW	imageblit	No	No
3. SCROLL_PAN		copyarea	Yes	No
4. SCROLL_WRAP		copyarea	No	Yes
5. SCROLL_PAN_REDRAW 	imageblit	Yes	No	
6. SCROLL_WRAP_REDRAW	imageblit	No	Yes
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Note 1:  I've changed the nomenclature to increase clarity:

SCROLL_ACCEL = SCROLL_MOVE
SCROLL_REDRAW = SCROLL_REDRAW
SCROLL_PAN = SCROLL_PAN_MOVE
SCROLL_WRAP = SCROLL_WRAP_MOVE

To demonstrate the effect of each of the scrolling methods on
an unaccelerated PCI/AGP-based driver (vesafb), I used a simple
benchmark (time cat linux/MAINTAINERS - a 50K text file). The
framebuffer is set at:

1024x768-8bpp, 8x16 font, yres_virtual = 2*yres

1. SCROLL_MOVE:
real    5m50.277s
user    0m0.001s
sys     5m50.227s

Almost 6 minutes for a 50K text file.  Using soft copyarea on a
PCI-based card is just too slow (because copyarea has to 
read from the framebuffer memory).

2. SCROLL_PAN_MOVE
scrollmode: SCROLL_PAN
real    0m8.592s
user    0m0.000s
sys     0m8.586s

Using ypan with copyarea dramatically improves the scrolling.  However, the
scrolling action is jerky (fast during the panning stages, slows down during
the copyarea stages).

3. SCROLL_REDRAW (this is the default scrolling mode)
real    0m3.189s
user    0m0.000s
sys     0m3.170s

Simply eliminating the copyarea, even without ypanning, makes it faster than
SCROLL_PAN_MOvE.  Plus, the scrolling action is smoother.

So, if we combine YPanning with imageblit (PAN_REDRAW), we get this:

4. SCROLL_PAN_REDRAW
real    0m0.520s
user    0m0.000s
sys     0m0.518s

That's almost 6x faster than SCROLL_REDRAW.  Increasing the amount of video
RAM still increases the speed, but not very dramatically.  Higher than 16 MB,
the increase is negligible.

Using an accelerated driver, we see almost the same effect but not as
dramatically:

1. SCROLL_MOVE - accel
real    0m3.112s
user    0m0.000s
sys     0m3.112s

2. SCROLL_REDRAW - accel
real    0m2.604s
user    0m0.000s
sys     0m2.603s

Redraw is still faster than move, but not much.

3. SCROLL_PAN_MOVE - accel
real    0m0.203s
user    0m0.000s
sys     0m0.202s

4. SCROLL_PAN_REDRAW - accel
real    0m0.326s
user    0m0.002s
sys     0m0.323s

This is one exception.  If panning is enabled, move is actually faster than
redraw.  As to why, I don't know.

So based on the above, fbcon will choose the scrolling method based on the
following preference:

Ypan/Ywrap > accel imageblit > accel copyarea >
soft imageblit > (soft copyarea)

Note 2: Exception: accel copyarea > accel imageblit if Pan/Wrap is enabled.

Note 3: soft copyarea will be avoided by fbcon as much as possible unless
there is a specific override, ie., FBINFO_READS_FAST flag is set.  If this
flag is set, fbcon will prefer copyarea over imageblit, accel or soft.

As a final note, in order for fbcon to use the best scrolling method, the
low-level drivers must provide the correct hinting by setting the
FBINFO_HWACCEL_* flags.

1.  From Petr Vandrovec <vandrove@vc.cvut.cz>.

Begin quote

        yesterday I finally found why 2.6.x has problems with taking
        over vgacon.  Problem is that take_over_console does:

  	if (IS_VISIBLE)
    	save_screen(i);
  	...
  	visual_init(i, 0);
  	...

        so code nicely saves screen contents, and calls visual_init,
        which calls fbcon's init, which in turn can issue vc_resize.  And this
        vc_resize will trigger read from vc->vc_origin.  But vc_origin still
        points to videomemory, not to the buffer where save_screen() copied
        its data.

End quote

So updating vc->vc_origin to point to screenbuf after the previous console
deinitializes allows fbcon to correctly update the screen from the screen
buffer.  This change makes the clearing of vram (using fillrect) unnecessary.

2.  If FBINFO_MISC_MODESWITCH flag is set in info, do the set_par() in
fbcon_switch() instead of piggy-backing the set_par() on fbcon_resize().  This
preserves the current var, skipping the unnecessary fb_find_mode() step.

Ugly workaround.  When switching from KD_GRAPHICS to KD_TEXT, the event is
captured at fbcon_blank() allowing fbcon to reinitialize the hardware.
However, some hardware requires the reinitialization to be done
immediately, others require it to be done later.  Others may need it to be
done immediately and later, this is the worst case.
