This patch makes PFS, EXT2 and MFS print only once that they're out of
space. After freeing up space and running out of space again, the message
will be printed again also.
The nbyte in read(int fildes, void *buf, size_t nbyte) is unsigned,
so although technically we're doing the same comparison, this is more
in line with POSIX.
The comparison was moved to read_write as that routine is used within
VFS to let it VFS write out coredumps.
- if no IRQ table is found, we report that ACPI cannot map IRQ
correctly
- fixes mapping of IRQs in KVM because in this case we just fall
through and use the IRQ configured by BIOS. PCI still reports
that it failed to use ACPI. It is a hint if things go wrong.
When a process wants something done from VFS, but VFS has no worker
threads available, the request is stored and executed later. However,
when PM also sends a request for that process at the same time, discard
the pending request from the process and give priority to PM. The request
PM sends is either an EXIT or a DUMPCORE request, so we're not interested
in executing the pending request anyway.
This driver can be loaded as an overlay on top of a real block
device, and can then be used to generate block-level failures for
certain transfer requests. Specifically, a rule-based system allows
the user to introduce (overt and silent) data corruption and errors.
It exposes itself through /dev/fbd, and a file system can be mounted
on top of it. The new fbdctl(8) tool can be used to control the
driver; see ``man fbdctl'' for details. It also comes with a test
set, located in test/fbdtest.
This removes a race condition when the block driver performs a
complete restart after a crash (the new default). If any user of
the driver finds out its new endpoint and sends a request to the
new driver instance before this instance has had the chance to
initialize, then its initialization would clear all IPC state and
thereby erroneously cancel the incoming request. Clearing IPC
state is only desired upon a stateful restart (where the driver's
endpoint is retained). This information is now passed to and used
by libblockdriver accordingly.
The test script now resolves the device node into a <label,minor>
pair, so that the blocktest driver itself no longer has to. This
removes blocktest's dependency on VFS' internal data structures.
Also allow blocktest to be linked using with gcc/clang.
This patch provides basic protection against damage resulting from
differently compiled servers blindly copying tables to one another.
In every getsysinfo() call, the caller is provided with the expected
size of the requested data structure. The callee fails the call if
the expected size does not match the data structure's actual size.
This stops the printer driver from hanging the entire system when
/dev/lp is opened on systems that do not have a parallel port. With
this change, the printer driver shuts down immediately after loading
on such systems.
Using sendrec directly only results in problems. While it is not
clear whether using fs_sendrec is the best option, it is at least
an improvement.
Also remove some legacy cruft.
Each block driver now gets to specify whether it is a disk block
driver, which implies it wants the library to handle getting and
setting partitions for it.
