file to write out. If both are 0, the whole file is synced. A filesystem
that is not able to sync out a range of a file may elect to sync
the whole file anyway.
a set of flags ("flags"). Two flags are defined, UPDATE_WAIT and
UPDATE_DIROP.
Under the old semantics, VOP_UPDATE would block if waitfor were set,
under the assumption that directory operations should be done
synchronously. At least LFS and FFS+softdep do not make this
assumption; FFS+softdep got around the problem by enclosing all relevant
calls to VOP_UPDATE in a "if(!DOINGSOFTDEP(vp))", while LFS simply
ignored waitfor, one of the reasons why NFS-serving an LFS filesystem
did not work properly.
Under the new semantics, the UPDATE_DIROP flag is a hint to the
fs-specific update routine that the call comes from a dirop routine, and
should be wait for, or not, accordingly.
Closes PR#8996.
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
to pass down a locked node. Modify union_copyup() to call VOP_CLOSE
locked nodes.
Also fix a bug in union_copyup() where a lock on the lower vnode would
only be released if VOP_OPEN didn't fail.
* Make 2nd and 3rd args timespecs, not timevals.
* Consistently pass a Boolean as the 4th arg (except in LFS).
Also, fix ffs_update() and lfs_update() to actually change the nsec fields.
* Change the argument names to vop_link so they actually make sense.
* Implement vop_link and vop_symlink for all file systems, so they do proper
cleanup.
* Require the file system to decide whether or not linking and unlinking of
directories is allowed, and disable it for all current file systems.
