- Moved most file_system_module_info hooks into separate structures.
Those that operate on mounted volumes to fs_volume_ops, those
operating on a vnode to fs_vnode_ops.
- Got rid of the fs_volume, fs_cookie, fs_vnode typedefs. We use void*
again.
- Instead of a void* volume and node cookie hooks are passed a
fs_volume and fs_vnode structure pointer, which contain the cookie
and an ops pointer (fs_volume a few more things).
- The VFS {new,publish,get,...}_vnode() functions take a fs_volume*
instead of the volume ID. So does vfs_get_fs_node_from_path().
- Added type and flags arguments to publish_vnode() and the
get_vnode() hook and removed the type argument from lookup() hook.
Added vnode::type using formerly unused bits to store the node type.
Simplified a few things in the VFS due to the now always available
node type.
- Added fs_volume_ops::{create,delete}_sub_vnode() and
fs_vnode_ops::get_super_vnode() hooks. They are used to support file
system layers, e.g. allowing to extend an FS not supporting BeOS
attribute with attribute support. Needs some more work in the VFS.
- Added fs_vnode_ops::create_special_node() hook for creating special
nodes (e.g. FIFOs).
* Adjusted the built-in file systems and BFS according to the interface
changes. Removed all other FSs from the image for the time being.
We'll see whether further API changes are necessary before porting
them.
* Adjusted the bfs_shell accordingly.
* Implemented create_special_node() in rootfs to support special nodes.
* Added support for FIFOs:
- Added syscall _kern_create_fifo() (used by mkfifo()), which creates
a special node (type S_IFIFO) in the respective file system.
- When a special node is published the VFS creates a respective sub
node. Currently only FIFOs are supported.
- Added a little support for FIFO subnodes by using functionality from
the pipefs.
- Added mkfifo to the image. It can create FIFOs in the rootfs, but
the FIFOs aren't really usable ATM, since they still work like
pipes, i.e. readers and writers need to have them open at the same
time.
* Some smaller changes in the VFS:
- Made the *_CALL macros nicer to use (vargs).
- Refactored FS entry lookup into new function lookup_dir_entry().
- create_vnode() no longer just calls the FS create() hook. First it
looks up the entry and uses open_vnode(), if it already exists. This
is necessary for two reasons: 1) The FS might not support create()
while still allowing to open() entries. 2) When the FS has other
layers on to of it (or the respective node) it might not be
responsible for opening the node.

* Replaced the block_cache::lock benaphore with a recursive lock, so that
you can call cache functions from within the notification listeners.

file system to not fill newly created space with zeros.
BFile::SetSize() now uses this, while [f]truncate() does not. This
is only a temporary work-around until BFS supports sparse files.
* Apps that want to reserve space to fill up later should use
BFile::SetSize() for now, as this will be a lot faster than
[f]truncate().
* cache_io() and the functions below now use a special mode when you
pass in a NULL buffer: for read access, the cache is only populated
(useful for prefetching), for write access, the file is filled with
zeros.
* Implemented BFS's Inode::FillGapWithZeros() using this method now.
* Removed extraneous white space.

* Removed extraneous white space.
* net_server settings are now also updated when the size of the
file changed.

buffer of the provided "path" argument.
* Applied patch by Vasilis to fix some warnings when build on Linux (missing
const on certain functions). We should probably fix the original
{add|remove}_debugger_command() functions in Haiku as well.

blocks into the new transaction, but it would set that transaction on all
blocks of the old transaction, too. Also, it did not correctly update the
num_blocks/sub_num_blocks fields of the old transaction. Even worse, it did
return B_OK instead of the ID of the new transaction...
* get_writable_cached_block() did not correctly maintain the number of blocks
in the sub transaction.
* write_cached_block() did not free the original_data of a block when it wrote
it back as part of a previous transaction.
* Changed "cookie" for cache_next_block_in_transaction() to "long", so it will
be 64 bits when needed.
* Improved the API for detaching sub transactions: you can now get the blocks
of only the main (parent) transaction as well, added new
cache_block_in_main_transaction() function.
* BFS now flushes the log when there is no space left for the current
transaction.
* _WriteTransactionToLog() allocated a "vecs" array, but never freed it.
* _WriteTransactionToLog() now also supports detaching the current sub
transaction if the whole thing is getting too large (it will now also panic
if that doesn't work out).
* Removed a useless optimization: making the blocks available in the cache
isn't really needed, as all blocks in a transaction are locked into the
cache, anyway.
* Implemented Transaction::WriteBlocks().
* Minor cleanup, removed some dead code, fixed warnings in the fs_shell's
block_cache when compiled with debug output on.

transaction ends or has been aborted.
* BFS now listens for transactions when it created an inode to see if
the transaction will be aborted without freeing the inode (in which
case it will panic for now).
* Started implementing tracing support, but it's not working yet.
* Minor cleanup.

* Therefore, I've added an I/O control that let's it update the boot block
part of this block, so that makebootable can use it on a mounted volume
(this will probably be moved into a disk system API later).
* Added user_memcpy() to the fs_shell.
* Minor cleanup.

the complete extent info or not.
* file_map_translate() now cuts down the request to the file bounds.
* Adjusted BFS and FAT to the API changes.

that can be used by file systems.
* Changed the way the file cache works: instead of reading/writing to the
underlying device directly, it can now be used for any data source, ie.
also network file systems.
* As a result, the former pages_io() moved to the VFS layer, and can now be
called by a file system via {read|write}_file_io_vec_pages() (naming
suggestions are always welcomed :-)). It now gets an FD, and uses that to
communicate with the device (via its fs_{read|write}_pages() hooks).
* The file_cache_{read|write}() functions must now be called without holding
an I/O relevant file system lock. That allows the file cache to prepare the
pages without colliding with the page writer, IOW the "mayBlock" flag can
go into the attic again (yay!).
* This also results in a much better performance when the system does I/O and
is low on memory, as the page writer can now finally write back some pages,
and that even without maxing out the CPU :)
* The API changes put slightly more burden on the fs_{read|write}_pages()
hooks, but in combination with the file_map it's still pretty straight
forward. It just will have to dispatch the call to the underlying device
directly, usually it will just call its fs_{read|write}_pages() hooks
via the above mentioned calls.
* Ported BFS and FAT to the new API, the latter has not been tested, though.
* Also ported the API changes to the fs_shell. I also completely removed its
file cache level page handling - the downside is that device access is no
longer cached (ie. depends on the host OS now), the upside is that the code
is greatly simplified.

additional partition_data* child parameter now.
* _user_get_partitionable_spaces() doesn't need to copy the buffer into
the kernel, since it is no input parameter. It also copies back the
actual partitionable spaces count on error, now -- B_BUFFER_OVERFLOW
is returned when the buffer was too small, but then the count must be
returned too.
* Fixed several instances of syscall implementations that unloaded a disk
system, although they didn't load it in the first place. This screwed
up the load count with undesirable consequences.
* _user_create_child_partition() would set the size to the supplied
offset.
* Fixed broken loop in KPhysicalPartition::CreateShadowPartition().
* KPartition::RemoveChild() notified the listeners about the wrong
event.
* Intel partitioning module:
- The *_get_partitionable_spaces() correctly return B_BUFFER_OVERFLOW
now, if the supplied buffer is too small.
- Implemented a part of pm_shadow_changed(), which creates and updates
the PartitionMap, so that the validate_*() hooks have a chance to
work at all.

system initialize() hooks. It's often the only info about the
partition one needs and thus locking the partition just to get it is
no longer necessary.
* intel partitioning system:
- Removed passing around block sizes. We require 512 byte sectors
anyway. In fact using the parent partition's block size was even
wrong.
- Simplified writing the partition map sector.
- Simplified and corrected the partition map initialization.
- We don't fail identifying a partition anymore, if the partition map
contains no partitions. We would never identify a freshly
initialized partition map before.
- Made pm_identify() more intelligent: It determines the priority to
return depending on whether the partition is the device itself and
whether we have recognized child partitions.

* the page writer don't allow to block, while all other writers do. This fixes
bug #1509. The reason the page writer needs this is because it marks several
pages from different caches as busy.
* Fixed a warning about ASSERT being defined already in BFS, since
util/DoublyLinkedList.h now includes debug.h.

content name are supported.
* Added file_system_module_info::flags (analogously to
partition_module_info::flags) which indicate which disk device
features the FS supports.
* Replaced the
file_system_module_info/partition_module_info::supports_*()
hooks by a get_supported_operations() hook and for partitioning
systems additionally a get_supported_child_operations() hook.
* Updated file and partitioning systems accordingly.
* Updated fs_shell accordingly.
* Updated the DDM accordingly. The syscall interface remains unchanged,
though.
* _user_supports_initializing_partition() also checks whether the parent
partitioning system is content now.
git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@22043 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96
* Adjusted the FS initialize() hook to have FD and partition_id
parameters like the other hooks instead of the partition path.
* Adjusted initialization in BFS accordingly.
* Implemented the FS initialization method in KFileSystem.
