.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
framework provides a mechanism to dynamically associate arbitrary data at
|
|
run-time with any kernel data structure which has been suitably modified for use
|
|
with
|
|
.Nm .
|
|
The one-off modification required involves embedding a
|
|
.Vt "struct osd"
|
|
inside the kernel data structure.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
An additional benefit is that after the initial change to a structure is made,
|
|
all subsequent use of
|
|
.Nm
|
|
with the structure involves no changes to the structure's layout.
|
|
By extension, if the data structure is part of the ABI,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
provides a way of extending the structure in an ABI preserving manner.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The details of the embedded
|
|
.Vt "struct osd"
|
|
are not relevant to consumers of the
|
|
.Nm
|
|
framework and should not be manipulated directly.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Data associated with a structure is referenced by the
|
|
.Nm
|
|
framework using a type/slot identifier pair.
|
|
Types are statically defined in
|
|
.In sys/osd.h
|
|
and provide a high-level grouping for slots to be registered under.
|
|
Slot identifiers are dynamically assigned by the framework when a data type is
|
|
registered using
|
|
.Fn osd_register
|
|
and remains valid until a corresponding call to
|
|
.Fn osd_deregister .
|
|
.Ss Functions
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn osd_register
|
|
function registers a type/slot identifier pair with the
|
|
.Nm
|
|
framework for use with a new data type.
|
|
The function may sleep and therefore cannot be called from a non-sleepable
|
|
context.
|
|
The
|
|
.Fa type
|
|
argument specifies which high-level type grouping from
|
|
.In sys/osd.h
|
|
the slot identifier should be allocated under.
|
|
The
|
|
.Fa destructor
|
|
argument specifies an optional osd_destructor_t function pointer that will be
|
|
called for objects of the type being registered which are later destroyed by the
|
|
.Fn osd_del
|
|
function.
|
|
NULL may be passed if no destructor is required.
|
|
The
|
|
.Fa methods
|
|
argument specifies an optional array of osd_method_t function pointers which
|
|
can be later invoked by the
|
|
.Fn osd_call
|
|
function.
|
|
NULL may be passed if no methods are required.
|
|
The
|
|
.Fa methods
|
|
argument is currently only useful with the OSD_JAIL type identifier.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn osd_deregister
|
|
function deregisters a previously registered type/slot identifier pair.
|
|
The function may sleep and therefore cannot be called from a non-sleepable
|
|
context.
|
|
The
|
|
.Fa type
|
|
argument specifies which high-level type grouping from
|
|
.In sys/osd.h
|
|
the slot identifier is allocated under.
|
|
The
|
|
.Fa slot
|
|
argument specifies the slot identifier which is being deregistered and should be
|
|
the value that was returned by
|
|
.Fn osd_register
|
|
when the data type was registered.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn osd_set
|
|
function associates a data object pointer with a kernel data structure's
|
|
.Vt struct osd
|
|
member.
|
|
The
|
|
.Fa type
|
|
argument specifies which high-level type grouping from
|
|
.In sys/osd.h
|
|
the slot identifier is allocated under.
|
|
The
|
|
.Fa osd
|
|
argument is a pointer to the kernel data structure's
|
|
.Vt struct osd
|
|
which will have the
|
|
.Fa value
|
|
pointer associated with it.
|
|
The
|
|
.Fa slot
|
|
argument specifies the slot identifier to assign the
|
|
.Fa value
|
|
pointer to.
|
|
The
|
|
.Fa value
|
|
argument points to a data object to associate with
|
|
.Fa osd .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn osd_get
|
|
function returns the data pointer associated with a kernel data structure's
|
|
.Vt struct osd
|
|
member from the specified type/slot identifier pair.
|
|
The
|
|
.Fa type
|
|
argument specifies which high-level type grouping from
|
|
.In sys/osd.h
|
|
the slot identifier is allocated under.
|
|
The
|
|
.Fa osd
|
|
argument is a pointer to the kernel data structure's
|
|
.Vt struct osd
|
|
to retrieve the data pointer from.
|
|
The
|
|
.Fa slot
|
|
argument specifies the slot identifier to retrieve the data pointer from.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn osd_del
|
|
function removes the data pointer associated with a kernel data structure's
|
|
.Vt struct osd
|
|
member from the specified type/slot identifier pair.
|
|
The
|
|
.Fa type
|
|
argument specifies which high-level type grouping from
|
|
.In sys/osd.h
|
|
the slot identifier is allocated under.
|
|
The
|
|
.Fa osd
|
|
argument is a pointer to the kernel data structure's
|
|
.Vt struct osd
|
|
to remove the data pointer from.
|
|
The
|
|
.Fa slot
|
|
argument specifies the slot identifier to remove the data pointer from.
|
|
If an osd_destructor_t function pointer was specified at registration time, the
|
|
destructor function will be called and passed the data pointer for the type/slot
|
|
identifier pair which is being deleted.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn osd_call
|
|
function calls the specified osd_method_t function pointer for all
|
|
currently registered slots of a given type on the specified
|
|
.Fa obj
|
|
and
|
|
.Fa data
|
|
pointers.
|
|
The function may sleep and therefore cannot be called from a non-sleepable
|
|
context.
|
|
The
|
|
.Fa type
|
|
argument specifies which high-level type grouping from
|
|
.In sys/osd.h
|
|
to call the method for.
|
|
The
|
|
.Fa method
|
|
argument specifies the index into the osd_method_t array that was passed to
|
|
.Fn osd_register .
|
|
The
|
|
.Fa obj
|
|
and
|
|
.Fa data
|
|
arguments are passed to the method function pointer of each slot.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn osd_exit
|
|
function removes all data object pointers from all currently registered slots
|
|
for a given type for the specified kernel data structure's
|
|
.Vt struct osd
|
|
member.
|
|
The
|
|
.Fa type
|
|
argument specifies which high-level type grouping from
|
|
.In sys/osd.h
|
|
to remove data pointers from.
|
|
The
|
|
.Fa osd
|
|
argument is a pointer to the kernel data structure's
|
|
.Vt struct osd
|
|
to remove all data object pointers for all currently registered slots from.
|
|
.Sh IMPLEMENTATION NOTES
|
|
.Nm
|
|
uses a two dimensional matrix (array of arrays) as the data structure to manage
|
|
the external data associated with a kernel data structure's
|
|
.Vt struct osd
|
|
member.
|
|
The type identifier is used as the index into the outer array, and the slot
|
|
identifier is used as the index into the inner array. To set or retrieve a data
|
|
pointer for a given type/slot identifier pair,
|
|
.Fn osd_set
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn osd_get
|
|
perform the equivalent of array[type][slot], which is both constant time and
|
|
fast.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If
|
|
.Fn osd_set
|
|
is called on a
|
|
.Vt struct osd
|
|
for the first time, the array for storing data pointers is dynamically allocated
|
|
using
|
|
.Xr malloc 9
|
|
with M_NOWAIT to a size appropriate for the slot identifier being set.
|
|
If a subsequent call to
|
|
.Fn osd_set
|
|
attempts to set a slot identifier which is numerically larger than the slot used
|
|
in the previous
|
|
.Fn osd_set
|
|
call,
|
|
.Xr realloc 9
|
|
is used to grow the array to the appropriate size such that the slot identifier
|
|
can be used.
|
|
To maximise the efficiency of any code which calls
|
|
.Fn osd_set
|
|
sequentially on a number of different slot identifiers (e.g. during an
|
|
initialisation phase) one should loop through the slot identifiers in descending
|
|
order from highest to lowest.
|
|
This will result in only a single
|
|
.Xr malloc 9
|
|
call to create an array of the largest slot size and all subsequent calls to
|
|
.Fn osd_set
|
|
will proceed without any
|
|
.Xr realloc 9
|
|
calls.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
API is geared towards slot identifiers storing pointers to the same underlying
|
|
data structure type for a given
|
|
.Nm
|
|
type identifier.
|
|
This is not a requirement, and
|
|
.Xr khelp 9
|
|
for example stores completely different data types in slots under the OSD_KHELP
|
|
type identifier.
|
|
.Ss Locking
|
|
.Nm
|
|
internally uses a mix of
|
|
.Xr mutex 9 ,
|
|
.Xr rmlock 9
|
|
and
|
|
.Xr sx 9
|
|
locks to protect its internal data structures and state.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Responsibility for synchronising access to a kernel data structure's
|
|
.Vt struct osd
|
|
member is left to the subsystem that uses the data structure and calls the
|
|
.Nm
|
|
API.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Fn osd_get
|
|
only acquires an
|
|
.Xr rmlock
|
|
in read mode, therefore making it safe to use in the majority of contexts within
|
|
the kernel including most fast paths.
|
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
|
.Fn osd_register
|
|
returns the slot identifier for the newly registered data type.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Fn osd_set
|
|
returns zero on success or ENOMEM if the specified type/slot identifier pair
|
|
triggered an internal
|
|
.Xr realloc 9
|
|
which failed.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Fn osd_get
|
|
returns the data pointer for the specified type/slot identifier pair, or NULL if
|
|
the slot has not been initialised yet.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Fn osd_call
|
|
returns zero if no method is run or the method for each slot runs successfully.
|
|
If a method for a slot returns non-zero,
|
|
.Fn osd_call
|
|
terminates prematurely and returns the method's error to the caller.
