VMWare Workstation 6.x would previously die when running MINIX 3 with an
IOSPACE assertion and several error messages about multiply registered
I/O ports. The assertion is triggered when we probe for BAR sizes in
record_bar(). The solution: The PCI driver now disables I/O and mem
access before probing for BAR sizes.
Bumped up NR_PCIDEV and NR_PCIBUS, since Workstation 6.x virtualizes
more PCI buses and devices.
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.
map table), make it map in video memory.
sadly, this breaks tty in non-paged mode.
happily, this simplifies the code by throwing out the messing
around with segments, and throws out vidcopy.s.
give every process a full pagetable by default now.
first step to disabling kernel page table code (processes
might not have page tables -> no address translation).
- 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).
if the process was REVIVING. (susp_count doesn't count those
processes.) this together with dev_io SELECT suspend side effect
for asynch. character devices solves the hanging pipe bug. or
at last vastly improves it.
added sanity checks, turned off by default.
made the {NOT_,}{SUSPENDING,REVIVING} constants weirder to
help sanity checking.
- slight code cleanup
- neater exit procedure: exit when unmount
message received and kill signal (from RS 'down' or
reboot/shutdown) received (speed up unmount, but don't
confuse VFS by exiting before/during unmount msg)
