Ok, ok, a few more words about it: stop holding puffs_cc as a holy
value and passing it around to almost every possible place (popquiz:
which kernel variable does this remind you of?). Instead, pass
the natural choice, puffs_usermount, and fetch puffs_cc via
puffs_cc_getcc() only in routines which actually need it. This
not only simplifies code, but (thanks to the introduction of
puffs_cc_getcc()) enables constructs which weren't previously sanely
possible, say layering as a curious example.
There's still a little to do on this front, but this was the major
fs interface blast.
servers. Calling daemon() (i.e. fork()ing) inside a library can
cause nice surprises for e.g. threaded programs. As discussed with
Greg Oster & others.
this one, since it's a good exercise ..
Add icfs, which does the same thing as the refuse-based icfs agc
added earlier this week, i.e. null-mounts & converts the entire
namespace to lowercase. However, it's a fun comparison, since this
is implemented in a completely different fashion from the refuse
version.
