26 * struct v9fs_dentry - 9p private data stored in dentry d_fsdata
27 * @lock: protects the fidlist
28 * @fidlist: list of FIDs currently associated with this dentry
30 * This structure defines the 9p private data associated with
31 * a particular dentry. In particular, this private data is used
32 * to lookup which 9P FID handle should be used for a particular VFS
33 * operation. FID handles are associated with dentries instead of
34 * inodes in order to more closely map functionality to the Plan 9
35 * expected behavior for FID reclaimation and tracking.

38 * Design and Implementation of the Linux 9P File System documentation
