equal, larger, respectively instead of 0/1 for non/equal. This
will allow sorting the buffers for faster matching in libpuffs.
While here, change the name from respcmp to framecmp, as that better
reflects the purpose.
NOTE! there is no obvious way to make compilation fail for file
systems which may already be using this feature (although I don't
think there are any outside our tree, as the feature is two weeks
old). Nevertheless, non-updated file systems will fail very quickly.
support removal and addition of i/o file descriptors on the fly.
* detect closed file descriptors
* automatically free waiters of a dead file descriptor
* give the file server the possibility to specify a callback which
notifies of a dead file descriptor
* move loop function to be a property of the mainloop instead of
framebuf (doesn't change effective behaviour)
* add the possibility to configure a timespec parameter which
attempts to call the loop function periodically
* move the event loop functions from the puffs_framebuf namespace
to puffs_framev to differential between pure memory management
functions
stack instead of the continuation stack. This is for lib/36011, where
pthread gets confused since we aren't running on the regular stack.
I'm not really sure which direction to go to with this quite yet, so
make the hack hard to enable on purpose. The whole request dispatch
code needs cleaning anyway.
and event handling mechanisms required in file servers with blocking
I/O backends. puffs_framebuf is built on the concept of puffs_cc
and uses those to multiplex execution where needed.
File systems are required to implement three methods:
* read frame
* write frame
* compare if frame is a response to the given one
Memory management is provided by puffs_framebuf, but the file
systems must still, of course, interpret the protocol and do e.g.
byte order conversion.
As always, puffs_framebuf is work in progress. Current users are
mount_psshfs and mount_9p.
only take the bare essentials, which currently means removing
"maxreqlen" from the argument list (all current callers I'm aware
of set it as 0 anyway). Introduce puffs_init(), which provides a
context for setting various parameters and puffs_domount(), which
can be used to mount the file system. Keep puffs_mount() as a
shortcut for the above two for simple file systems.
Bump development ABI version to 13. After all, it's Friday the 13th.
Watch out! Bad things can happen on Friday the 13th. --No carrier--
accessors for interesting data in it. Namely, you can now get
pu->pu_privdata with puffs_getspecific(), pu->pu_pn_root with
puffs_set/getroot() and pu->pu_maxreqlen with puffs_getmaxreqlen().
system backends which operate purely based on paths, push out more
path management into the library and make path management more
abstract: enable a file system to define a bunch of path management
callbacks, which are used by the framework. Management of normal
/this/is/a/path type paths is provided by the library.
server that it needs to mount the file system backend if it wants
to call mount
* provide some options for getmntopts(), assume that callers will parse
command line (or fstab) args
* reorganize the puffs_cc interface just a bit, preparing for a bigger
revamp later
Add support for having multiple outstanding operations. This is done
by exposing enough interfaces so that it is convenient to have the
main event loop in the implementation itself and by providing a
continuation framework for convinient blocking and rescheduling.
works fine, but will undergo further cleanup & development
