These two request are handled by the same function in some FSes, which
prevents us from using two different kinds of messages.

Add primary cache management feature to libminixfs as mfs and ext2
currently do separately, remove cache code from mfs and ext2, and make
them use the libminixfs interface. This makes all fields of the buf
struct private to libminixfs and FS clients aren't supposed to access
them at all. Only the opaque 'void *data' field (the FS block contents,
used to be called bp) is to be accessed by the FS client.
The main purpose is to implement the interface to the 2ndary vm cache
just once, get rid of some code duplication, and add a little
abstraction to reduce the code inertia of the whole caching business.
Some minor sanity checking and prohibition done by mfs in this code
as removed from the generic primary cache code as a result:
- checking all inodes are not in use when allocating/resizing
the cache
- checking readonly filesystems aren't written to
- checking the superblock isn't written to on mounted filesystems
The minixfslib code relies on fs_blockstats() in the client filesystem to
return some FS usage information.
.enable all compile time warnings and make them errors
.refactor functions with unused parameters
.fix null pointer dereference before checking for null
.proper variable initialization
.use safe string copy functions
.fix massive memory corruption bug in fs_getdents
. all invocations were S or D, so can safely be dropped
to prepare for the segmentless world
. still assign D to the SCP_SEG field in the message
to make previous kernels usable
POSIX mandates that a file's modification and change time be left
untouched upon truncate/ftruncate iff the file size does not change.
However, an open(O_TRUNC) call must always update the modification and
change time of the file, even if it was already zero-sized. VFS uses
the file systems' truncate call to implement O_TRUNC. This patch
replaces git-255ae85, which did not take into account the open case.
The size check is now moved into VFS, so that individual file systems
need not check for this case anymore.
POSIX truncate specification says "Upon successful completion, if
the *file size is changed*, this function shall mark for update the
st_ctime and st_mtime fields of the file." This patch prevents
changing of the date fields when the size stays the same.
