51  * struct export_operations - for nfsd to communicate with file systems
52  * @encode_fh:      encode a file handle fragment from a dentry
53  * @fh_to_dentry:   find the implied object and get a dentry for it
54  * @fh_to_parent:   find the implied object's parent and get a dentry for it
55  * @get_name:       find the name for a given inode in a given directory
56  * @get_parent:     find the parent of a given directory
57  *
58  * See Documentation/filesystems/Exporting for details on how to use
59  * this interface correctly.
60  *
61  * encode_fh:
62  *    @encode_fh should store in the file handle fragment @fh (using at most
63  *    @max_len bytes) information that can be used by @decode_fh to recover the
64  *    file refered to by the &struct dentry @de.  If the @connectable flag is
65  *    set, the encode_fh() should store sufficient information so that a good
66  *    attempt can be made to find not only the file but also it's place in the
67  *    filesystem.   This typically means storing a reference to de->d_parent in
68  *    the filehandle fragment.  encode_fh() should return the number of bytes
69  *    stored or a negative error code such as %-ENOSPC
70  *
71  * fh_to_dentry:
72  *    @fh_to_dentry is given a &struct super_block (@sb) and a file handle
73  *    fragment (@fh, @fh_len). It should return a &struct dentry which refers
74  *    to the same file that the file handle fragment refers to.  If it cannot,
75  *    it should return a %NULL pointer if the file was found but no acceptable
76  *    &dentries were available, or an %ERR_PTR error code indicating why it
77  *    couldn't be found (e.g. %ENOENT or %ENOMEM).  Any suitable dentry can be
78  *    returned including, if necessary, a new dentry created with d_alloc_root.
79  *    The caller can then find any other extant dentries by following the
80  *    d_alias links.
81  *
82  * fh_to_parent:
83  *    Same as @fh_to_dentry, except that it returns a pointer to the parent
84  *    dentry if it was encoded into the filehandle fragment by @encode_fh.
85  *
86  * get_name:
87  *    @get_name should find a name for the given @child in the given @parent
88  *    directory.  The name should be stored in the @name (with the
89  *    understanding that it is already pointing to a a %NAME_MAX+1 sized
90  *    buffer.   get_name() should return %0 on success, a negative error code
91  *    or error.  @get_name will be called without @parent->i_mutex held.
92  *
93  * get_parent:
94  *    @get_parent should find the parent directory for the given @child which
95  *    is also a directory.  In the event that it cannot be found, or storage
96  *    space cannot be allocated, a %ERR_PTR should be returned.
97  *
98  * Locking rules:
99  *    get_parent is called with child->d_inode->i_mutex down
100  *    get_name is not (which is possibly inconsistent)
