2017-09-12Traverse translator hierarchies using the fsys protocol.Justus Winter
Previously, we used the fs protocol to traverse the translator hierarchies. This, however, is conceptually flawed, because translators are bound to nodes, and a node can have zero or more links in the file system. Therefore, the previous method of returning a list of paths to the client and expecting them to be able to follow these to reach the child translators was always unreliable. Fix this by using the fsys protocol to traverse the hierarchy, and returning the control ports of all children. This is more robust, and also conceptually cleaner, because the fsys protocol is about translator linkage, hence this is the point to implement traversal. Also move the get source routine over. A per-node source really does not fit the reality of most translators, while a per-translator source makes sense in many cases. * hurd/fs.defs (file_get_children): Drop routine. (file_get_source): Likewise. * hurd/fsys.defs (fsys_get_children): New routine. (fsys_get_source): Likewise. * libdiskfs/Makefile (FSYSSRCS): Remove files, add files. * libdiskfs/file-get-children.c: Remove file. * libdiskfs/fsys-get-children.c: New file. * libdiskfs/file-get-source.c: Remove file. * libdiskfs/fsys-get-source.c: New file. * libfshelp/fshelp.h (fshelp_filter): Remove type. (fshelp_get_active_translators): Remove filter and prefix argument, return list of control ports. * libfshelp/translator-list.c (fshelp_get_active_translators): Likewise. * libnetfs/Makefile (FSSRCS): Move 'get-source.c' too OTHERSRCS.

(insecure): Drop variable. (all_translators): Likewise. (MAX_DEPTH): New macro. (max_depth): New variable. (options): Remove '--insecure' and '--all-translators', add '--depth'. (parse_opt): Adapt accordingly. (trivsfs_append_args): Likewise. (main): Get the control port of the target translator, then drop privileges. (is_filesystem_translator): Remove function. (mtab_mark_as_seen): Simplify. Just check if the control port is known. (mtab_populate): Limit depth of recursion, adapt to traversing over the control ports, simplify. (open_hook): Remove scary comment, it is not applicable anymore because we no longer dir_lookup child translators.
