- When cancelling ioctls, VFS did not remember which file descriptor
to cancel and sent bogus to the driver.
- Select state was not cleaned up when select()ing process was
interrupted.
- Process trying to do a system call at the exact same time as a user
trying to interrupt the process, could cause the system call worker
thread to overwrite state belonging to the worker thread trying to
exit the process. This led to hanging threads and eventual system hang
when this happens often enough.
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.
