Detailed Description

struct v9fs_dentry - 9p private data stored in dentry d_fsdata : protects the fidlist : list of FIDs currently associated with this dentry

This structure defines the 9p private data associated with a particular dentry. In particular, this private data is used to lookup which 9P FID handle should be used for a particular VFS operation. FID handles are associated with dentries instead of inodes in order to more closely map functionality to the Plan 9 expected behavior for FID reclaimation and tracking.
