/**
 * struct export_operations - for nfsd to communicate with file systems
 * @encode_fh:      encode a file handle fragment from a dentry
 * @fh_to_dentry:   find the implied object and get a dentry for it
 * @fh_to_parent:   find the implied object's parent and get a dentry for it
 * @get_name:       find the name for a given inode in a given directory
 * @get_parent:     find the parent of a given directory
 *
 * See Documentation/filesystems/Exporting for details on how to use
 * this interface correctly.
 *
 * encode_fh:
 *    @encode_fh should store in the file handle fragment @fh (using at most
 *    @max_len bytes) information that can be used by @decode_fh to recover the
 *    file refered to by the &struct dentry @de.  If the @connectable flag is
 *    set, the encode_fh() should store sufficient information so that a good
 *    attempt can be made to find not only the file but also it's place in the
 *    filesystem.   This typically means storing a reference to de->d_parent in
 *    the filehandle fragment.  encode_fh() should return the number of bytes
 *    stored or a negative error code such as %-ENOSPC
 *
 * fh_to_dentry:
 *    @fh_to_dentry is given a &struct super_block (@sb) and a file handle
 *    fragment (@fh, @fh_len). It should return a &struct dentry which refers
 *    to the same file that the file handle fragment refers to.  If it cannot,
 *    it should return a %NULL pointer if the file was found but no acceptable
 *    &dentries were available, or an %ERR_PTR error code indicating why it
 *    couldn't be found (e.g. %ENOENT or %ENOMEM).  Any suitable dentry can be
 *    returned including, if necessary, a new dentry created with d_alloc_root.
 *    The caller can then find any other extant dentries by following the
 *    d_alias links.
 *
 * fh_to_parent:
 *    Same as @fh_to_dentry, except that it returns a pointer to the parent
 *    dentry if it was encoded into the filehandle fragment by @encode_fh.
 *
 * get_name:
 *    @get_name should find a name for the given @child in the given @parent
 *    directory.  The name should be stored in the @name (with the
 *    understanding that it is already pointing to a a %NAME_MAX+1 sized
 *    buffer.   get_name() should return %0 on success, a negative error code
 *    or error.  @get_name will be called without @parent->i_mutex held.
 *
 * get_parent:
 *    @get_parent should find the parent directory for the given @child which
 *    is also a directory.  In the event that it cannot be found, or storage
 *    space cannot be allocated, a %ERR_PTR should be returned.
 *
 * Locking rules:
 *    get_parent is called with child->d_inode->i_mutex down
 *    get_name is not (which is possibly inconsistent)
