. all invocations were S or D, so can safely be dropped
to prepare for the segmentless world
. still assign D to the SCP_SEG field in the message
to make previous kernels usable
. also implement now-possible fsck -p option
. allows unconditional fsck -p invocation at startup,
only checking each filesystem if not marked clean
. mounting unclean is allowed but is forced readonly
. updating the superblock while mounted is now not
allowed by mfs - must be done (e.g. by fsck.mfs)
on an unmounted fs
. clean flag is unset by mfs on mounting, and set by
mfs on clean unmounting (if clean flag was set at
mount time)

. use dirty marking hooks to check and warn
when inodes/bufs are marked dirty on a readonly
mounted fs
. add readonly mount checks to restore readonly
mounting

. No functional change
. Only serves to get hooks to do checks in
. e.g. should things be marked dirty when we are
mounted readonly

. move mfs-specific struct, constants to mfs/, so
mfs-specific, on-disk format structs and consts are
fully isolated from generic structs and functions
. removes de and readfs utils
- Remove unused includes.
- Add include guards to headers.
- Use unsigned variables in case they're never going to hold a negative
value. This causes GCC's complaints to disappear and should make flexelint
a lot happier, too.
- Make functions private when they're used only within a module.
- Remove unused variables.
- Add casts where appropriate.
A new call to vm lets processes yield a part of their memory to vm,
together with an id, getting newly allocated memory in return. vm is
allowed to forget about it if it runs out of memory. processes can ask
for it back using the same id. (These two operations are normally
combined in a single call.)
It can be used as a as-big-as-memory-will-allow block cache for
filesystems, which is how mfs now uses it.
this change
- makes panic() variadic, doing full printf() formatting -
no more NO_NUM, and no more separate printf() statements
needed to print extra info (or something in hex) before panicing
- unifies panic() - same panic() name and usage for everyone -
vm, kernel and rest have different names/syntax currently
in order to implement their own luxuries, but no longer
- throws out the 1st argument, to make source less noisy.
the panic() in syslib retrieves the server name from the kernel
so it should be clear enough who is panicing; e.g.
panic("sigaction failed: %d", errno);
looks like:
at_wini(73130): panic: sigaction failed: 0
syslib:panic.c: stacktrace: 0x74dc 0x2025 0x100a
- throws out report() - printf() is more convenient and powerful
- harmonizes/fixes the use of panic() - there were a few places
that used printf-style formatting (didn't work) and newlines
(messes up the formatting) in panic()
- throws out a few per-server panic() functions
- cleans up a tie-in of tty with panic()
merging printf() and panic() statements to be done incrementally.
- Make open(2) more POSIX compliant
- Add a test case for dangling symlinks and open() syscall with O_CREAT and
O_EXCL on a symlink.
- Update open(2) man page to reflect change.
- Revise VFS-FS protocol and update VFS/MFS/ISOFS accordingly.
- Clean up MFS by removing old, dead code (backwards compatibility is broken by
the new VFS-FS protocol, anyway) and rewrite other parts. Also, make sure all
functions have proper banners and prototypes.
- VFS should always provide a (syntactically) valid path to the FS; no need for
the FS to do sanity checks when leaving/entering mount points.
- Fix several bugs in MFS:
- Several path lookup bugs in MFS.
- A link can be too big for the path buffer.
- A mountpoint can become inaccessible when the creation of a new inode
fails, because the inode already exists and is a mountpoint.
- Introduce support for supplemental groups.
- Add test 46 to test supplemental group functionality (and removed obsolete
suppl. tests from test 2).
- Clean up VFS (not everything is done yet).
- ISOFS now opens device read-only. This makes the -r flag in the mount command
unnecessary (but will still report to be mounted read-write).
- Introduce PipeFS. PipeFS is a new FS that handles all anonymous and
named pipes. However, named pipes still reside on the (M)FS, as they are part
of the file system on disk. To make this work VFS now has a concept of
'mapped' inodes, which causes read, write, truncate and stat requests to be
redirected to the mapped FS, and all other requests to the original FS.
POSIX compliance.
VFS changes:
* truncate() on a file system mounted read-only no longer panics MFS.
* ftruncate() and fcntl(F_FREESP) now check for write permission on
the file descriptor instead of the file, write().
* utime(), chown() and fchown() now check for file system read-only
status.
MFS changes:
* link() and rename() no longer return the internal EENTERMOUNT and
ELEAVEMOUNT errors to the application as part of a check on the
source path.
* rename() now treats EENTERMOUNT from the destination path check as
an error, preventing file system corruption from renaming a normal
directory to an existing mountpoint directory.
* mountpoints (mounted-on dirs) are hidden better during lookups:
- if a lookup starts from a mountpoint, the first component has to
be ".." (anything else being a VFS-FS protocol violation).
- in that case, the permissions of the mountpoint are not checked.
- in all other cases, visiting a mountpoint always results in
EENTERMOUNT.
* a lookup on ".." from a mount root or chroot(2) root no longer
succeeds if the caller does not have search permission on that
directory.
* POSIX: getdents() now updates directory access times.
* POSIX: readlink() now returns partial results instead of ERANGE.
Miscellaneous changes:
* semaphore file handling bug (leading to hangs) fixed in test 32.
The VFS changes should now put the burden of checking for read-only
status of file systems entirely on VFS, and limit the access
permission checks that file systems have to perform, to checking
search permission on directories during lookups. From this point on,
any deviation from that spceification should be considered a bug.
Note that for legacy reasons, the root partition is assumed to be
mounted read-write.
- Changed VFS-FS protocol to only store OK or negative error code in
m_type field of reply messages.
- Changed VFS to treat nonzero positive replies from FS as requests.
- Added backwards compatibility to VFS and MFS.
No protection of global data structures is provided in VFS, so many
VFS calls cannot be made safely by FS servers during many FS calls.
Use with caution (or, preferably, not at all).
