symlinks, and thus can operate on symlinks. remove a bogus comment in
chflags(1) that claims symlinks do not have file flags.
XXX: todo -- make chflags(1) use lchflags(2) when given the right options.
metadata. If you do call it, there's actually a fair chance that it
will panic because its metadata dependencies were not cleared in
the VOP_FSYNC above (with FSYNC_DATAONLY).
default, as the copyright on the main file (ffs_softdep.c) is such
that is has been put into gnusrc. options SOFTDEP will pull this
in. This code also contains the trickle syncer.
Bump version number to 1.4O
calls to reflect this. Also, block statclock rather than softclock during
in the proclist locking functions, to address a problem reported on
current-users by Sean Doran.
mp->mnt_flags & MNT_MWAIT is replaced by mp->mnt_wcnt, and a new mount
flag MNT_GONE is created (reusing the same bit).
In insmntque(), add DIAGNOSTIC check to fail if the filesystem vnode
is being moved to is in the process of being unmounted.
getnewvnode() now protects the list of vnodes active on mp with
vfs_busy()/vfs_unbusy().
To avoid generating spurious errors during a doomed unmount, change
the "wait for unmount to finish" protocol between dounmount() and
vfs_busy(). In vfs_busy(), instead of only sleeping once, sleep until
either MNT_UNMOUNT is clear or MNT_GONE is set; also, maintain a count
of waiters in mp->mnt_wcnt so that dounmount() knows when it's safe to
free mp.
tested by running a "while :; do mount /d1; umount -f /d1; done" loop
against multiple find(1) processes.
count is 0, wait for use count to drain before finishing the close.
This is necessary in order for multiple processes to safely share file
descriptor tables.
was changes to comments only, but..)
Build vfs_getcwd.c as standard part of kernel.
Add implementation of fchroot(), since two emulations already had it.
Call vn_isunder() in fchdir(), chroot(), and fchroot() to make it harder
to escape chroot().
some things (e.g. unionfs) may depend on it. It's currently ok
for vnodecovered to be set already; it's not for v_mountedhere in
the vnode, though.
From John Darrow.
XXX should probably just extend VFS_MOUNT to take the vnode pointer as
an argument.
since the lock may be taken again. This was the intention of the CANRECURSE
lock already there, but didn't work.
Only fill in the vnode<->mountpoint links (mountedhere and vnodecovered)
after VFS_MOUNT returned succesfully. It might happen that something called
from VFS_MOUNT mistook the vnode for an already successfully mounted on
one because of this.
readlink() from type `int' to type `size_t'. This isn't an ABI change, since
the calling convention of our only LP64 platform (the Alpha) already promotes
this argument to a `long'.
This may not be the final action on this matter; readlink() still returns
an `int', which may change in a future revision of the standard.
again - the facility required in this context would be a filesystem-specific
super-user determination, which is not available yet. Also, add some
clarification to a comment.
change_owner().
* Change the semantics of chown(), fchown() and lchown(): when requesting a
change of the owner of a file, clear the set-user-id bit; analogous behaviour
for group changes.
* Since the above is a violation of the semantics specified by POSIX and
X/Open, add corresponding compatibility syscalls: __posix_chown(),
__posix_fchown(), __posix_lchown(). (Neither fchown() nor lchown() is
specified by POSIX; the prefix is intended to reflect the semantics.)
* Rename posix_rename() to __posix_rename() to follow the above convention.
UVM was written by chuck cranor <chuck@maria.wustl.edu>, with some
minor portions derived from the old Mach code. i provided some help
getting swap and paging working, and other bug fixes/ideas. chuck
silvers <chuq@chuq.com> also provided some other fixes.
this is the rest of the MI portion changes.
this will be KNF'd shortly. :-)
