2010-10-20ceph: factor out libceph from Ceph file systemYehuda Sadeh
This factors out protocol and low-level storage parts of ceph into a separate libceph module living in net/ceph and include/linux/ceph. This is mostly a matter of moving files around. However, a few key pieces of the interface change as well: - ceph_client becomes ceph_fs_client and ceph_client, where the latter captures the mon and osd clients, and the fs_client gets the mds client and file system specific pieces. - Mount option parsing and debugfs setup is correspondingly broken into two pieces. - The mon client gets a generic handler callback for otherwise unknown messages (mds map, in this case). - The basic supported/required feature bits can be expanded (and are by ceph_fs_client). No functional change, aside from some subtle error handling cases that got cleaned up in the refactoring process. Signed-off-by: Sage Weil <sage@newdream.net>
2010-02-11ceph: add support for auth_x authentication protocolSage Weil
The auth_x protocol implements support for a kerberos-like mutual authentication infrastructure used by Ceph. We do not simply use vanilla kerberos because of scalability and performance issues when dealing with a large cluster of nodes providing a single logical service. Auth_x provides mutual authentication of client and server and protects against replay and man in the middle attacks. It does not encrypt the full session over the wire, however, so data payload may still be snooped. Signed-off-by: Yehuda Sadeh <yehuda@hq.newdream.net> Signed-off-by: Sage Weil <sage@newdream.net>
