Implemented by changing write_map to accept a WMAP_FREE flag. In that
case, it doesn't update the datablock (creating indirect zones as
necessary) pointer, but it frees the datablock if present. Also it
frees the single and double indirect blocks if unused.
This makes the implementation of truncate_inode() simpler.
truncate_inode() now accepts a truncation length which makes
implementing truncate() and ftruncate() simple.
This also allowed implementing the F_FREESP fcntl().
. When drivers disappear that have pending select()s, wake up
those user processes with EAGAIN so that they can retry their
select() and won't hang forever on it.
. When drivers re-appear and are mapped into the dmap, run through
the list of mounted filesystems and re-dev_open() every one (for
partition tables and such). This can't happen before the driver
has exec()ced itself, so processes that have fork()ed but not
exec()ced yet are marked as DMAP_BABY in the dmap table if they
are dmapped before they are execced. If that happens, the above
procedure happens after the exec(). If the exec() happens before
the dmapping, it (the dev_open()ing) happens right away.
if the boot monitor parameter is set. it also sets a boot monitor
parameter (by talking to the PM) so userland knows it.
. ramdisk copy code made slightly smarter
. various select() prettifications (work in progress)
and the new log driver if enabled.
new usyslogd is started from /usr/etc/rc. New device created by
MAKEDEV.sh. /var/log created by etc/mtree/minix.tree (on root for
now). Made select() slightly more generic, with less code duplication.
Added interface to select() for pipes (also named pipes), and select()
stubs for regular files.
Added timer library in FS that select() is the first customer of.
This is unfinished, but committed anyway to get a new release out to
Al and testers.
need /tmp any more since 16MB root device; increase to 3.0.5 to make new
CD with working FXP driver. (not tagged 3.0.5 yet as at driver bios-copy
workaround hasn't been done.)
