* in addition add/remove, allow enable/disable, which can be used
to control events for descriptors without having to remove all the
data associated with them
* add directsend/receive, which can be used to pass the same buffer
from the caller to read/writeframe and back again
* add flags to enqueue functions and allow urgent buffers to be
processed as the next PDU
file always after creation to cache the inode number given by the
backend file system. Otherwise we would not find a newly created
node from incore and create another one. In practise this was
pretty well hidden by the kernel name cache.
and destroyed, but not yet reclaimed. This prevents puffs_pn_nodewalk()
from returning stale entries. Make nullfs use this (some file
systems are a bit too happy with recycling inode numbers).
FORTIFY_SOURCE feature of libssp, thus checking the size of arguments to
various string and memory copy and set functions (as well as a few system
calls and other miscellany) where known at function entry. RedHat has
evidently built all "core system packages" with this option for some time.
This option should be used at the top of Makefiles (or Makefile.inc where
this is used for subdirectories) but after any setting of LIB.
This is only useful for userland code, and cannot be used in libc or in
any code which includes the libc internals, because it overrides certain
libc functions with macros. Some effort has been made to make USE_FORT=yes
work correctly for a full-system build by having the bsd.sys.mk logic
disable the feature where it should not be used (libc, libssp iteself,
the kernel) but no attempt has been made to build the entire system with
USE_FORT and doing so will doubtless expose numerous bugs and misfeatures.
Adjust the system build so that all programs and libraries that are setuid,
directly handle network data (including serial comm data), perform
authentication, or appear likely to have (or have a history of having)
data-driven bugs (e.g. file(1)) are built with USE_FORT=yes by default,
with the exception of libc, which cannot use USE_FORT and thus uses
only USE_SSP by default. Tested on i386 with no ill results; USE_FORT=no
per-directory or in a system build will disable if desired.
turn a reference to puffs_framebuf in the file system from a
cb/justsend operation to a cc wait, should the file system find
itself desiring the result.
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.
reclaiming and the network/server is slow, we might have thousands
of buffers allocated at the same time causing the process to run
out of vm space. Rate limiting the number of outstanding ops would
be a nicer choice, but that requires more complex changes.
loop function might generate some results. and this is still "after"
event handling (except for the first call, but I'm not too keen on
optimizing for that)
* don't be such a baby about EINTR from kevent(). if we get it, suck
it up and continue instead of quitting
instead of puffs_start(). Get completely rid of puffs_start(), as
everything it used to do is now handled by the mount routine.
Introduce an optional pre-mount call puffs_setrootinfo() for setting
non-default root node information. As the old puffs_mount() is
now virtually useless, say byebye to it and rename the old
puffs_domount() to puffs_mount(), but add a root cookie parameter
to compensate for the late puffs_start().
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
framebuf event loop to take n i/o fd's as parameters and also allow
dynamic add/remove of fd's. (not tested except for one fd, but more
changes coming soon)
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.
