PUFFS file systems need to make back calls for every operation we
send to them. Consequently, they cannot handle block reads and writes
themselves. Instead, the root file system has to do it (for now).
When the mount operation causes an FS to make a back call, AVFS now
concludes that every block read and write for that FS has to go
through the root file system.
In some places it was assumed that PATH_MAX does not include a
terminating null character.
Increases PATH_MAX to 1024 to get in sync with NetBSD. Required some
rewriting in AVFS to keep memory usage low (the stack in use by a thread
is very small).
. move cache size heuristic from mfs there
so mfs and ext2 can share it
. add vfs credentials retrieving function, with
backwards compatability from previous struct
format, to be used by both ext2 and mfs
. fix for ext2 - STATICINIT was fed no.
of bytes instead of no. of elements, overallocating
memory by a megabyte or two for the superblock
During shutdown all processes are semi-exited and FSes are unmounted.
This semi-exit causes trouble for FUSE mounts as they still need access
to file descriptors and working directory in order to unmount.
. 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
. only use for single-page invalidations initially
. shows tiny but statistically significant performance
improvement; will be more helpful in certain VM debug
modes
. ipc wants to know about processes that get
signals, so that it can break blocking ipc operations
. doing it for every single signal is wasteful
and causes the annoying 'no slot for signals' message
. this fix tells vm on a per-process basis it (ipc)
wants to be notified, i.e. only when it does any ipc calls
. move ipc config to separate config file while we're at it
