Subject: [PATCH 1/5] VFS: DazukoFS, stackable-fs, file access control

Patch 1: Introduces DazukoFS as a nullfs. This is the raw stackable
         filesystem part of DazukoFS and does nothing except stack and
         pass filesystem calls to the lower filesystem.

Patched against 2.6.28-rc9.

+================
+ ABOUT DAZUKOFS
+================
+
+DazukoFS is a pass-through stackable filesystem. A filesystem that does
+not perform any special modification but simply passes VFS calls to and
+from the lower filesystem is typically known as nullfs.
+
+
+
+=====================
+ MOUNTING/UNMOUNTING
+=====================
+
+DazukoFS is typically mounted on top of an existing directory. For example,
+to stack DazukoFS on top of the /opt directory, the following mount(8)
+command can be given:
+
+# mount -t dazukofs /opt /opt
+
+A process that accesses files in /opt will now be accessing them through
+DazukoFS. The stackable filesystem can then be unmounted with:
+
+# umount /opt
+
+
+
+===============
+ MOUNT ON BOOT
+===============
+
+You may want DazukoFS to be mounted over certain directories when the
+machine boots. The easiest way to do this is to add the mounts to
+the end of /etc/fstab. They would look something like this:
+
+/usr   /usr   dazukofs   defaults   0   0
+/opt   /opt   dazukofs   defaults   0   0
+
+
+
+=========
+ WARNING
+=========
+
+It is possible to mount DazukoFS to a directory other than the directory
+that is being stacked upon. For example:
+
+# mount -t dazukofs /opt /mnt
+
+When accessing files within /mnt, you will be accessing files in /opt
+(through DazukoFS). When accessing files directly in /opt, DazukoFS will not
+be involved.
+
+THIS HAS POTENTIAL PROBLEMS!
+
+If files are modified directly in /opt, the DazukoFS layer will not know
+about it. When DazukoFS later tries to access those files, it may result
+in corrupt data or kernel crashes. As long as /opt is modified ONLY through
+DazukoFS, there should not be any problems.
+
+This method of mounting DazukoFS may be interesting for servers that export
+a part of the filesystem and the service is in a chroot environment.
+
+
+
+==============
+ KNOWN ISSUES
+==============
+
+- DazukoFS does not support writing to memory mapped files. This should not
+  cause the kernel to crash, but will instead result in the application
+  failing to perform the writes (although mmap() will appear to be
+  successful from the application's viewpoint!).
+
+- It is not possible to stack DazukoFS over the root filesystem (/).
+  Stacking over pseudo filesystems (/proc, /dev, /sys) has not been
+  tested and should be avoided.
