Ingo Weinhold 3cf43c2651 Removed the fs_vnode_ops::create_dir() parameter for returning the ID of the
newly created dir. The VFS really doesn't need it and for some file systems
it might not be easy to get by. Several file systems (e.g. rootfs and fat)
were ignoring the parameter anyway.

Michael Lotz 49004dc730 Remove the additional fs_vnode_ops arugment from get_vnode() again as it's not
needed at all when used as intended. Thanks Ingo for the explanation on how this
is intended to work. Adjusted the overlay fs accordingly and updated/reverted
the changes to the other filesystems.

Michael Lotz 00405f2286 * Add an additional argument to get_vnode() that gets the fs_vnode_ops of the
node. That is needed for a layered filesystem to be able to construct a full
  fs_vnode out of a volume/inode pair.
* Adapt places where get_vnode is used. Sadly this is a C API and we can't just
  use a default NULL for that argument.
* Introduce a flag B_VNODE_WANTS_OVERLAY_SUB_NODE that can be returned in the
  flags field of a fs get_vnode call. A filesystem can use this flag to indicate
  that it doesn't support the full set of fs features (attributes, write support)
  and it'd like to have unsupported calls emulated by an overlay sub node.
* Add a perliminary overlay filesystem that emulates file attributes using files
  on a filesystem where attributes aren't supported. It does currently only
  support reading attributes/attribute directories though. All other calls are
  just passed through to the super filesystem.
* Adjust places where a HAS_FS_CALL() is taken as a guarantee that the operation
  is supported. For the overlay filesystem we may later return a B_UNSUPPORTED,
  so make sure that in that case proper fallback options are taken.
* Make the iso9660 filesystem request overlay sub nodes. This can be fine tuned
  later to only trigger where there are features on a CD that need emulation
  at all.

If you happened to know the attribute file format and location you could build
an iso with read-only attribute support now. Note that this won't be enough to
get a bootable iso-only image as the query and index support is yet missing.

Axel Dörfler 5b812019b4 * Added function block_cache_discard() that flushes blocks from the block cache,
discarding their changes. This functionality currently only works correctly
  when no transactions are used.
* Started test application for the block cache, doesn't do anything yet.

Axel Dörfler 057f999da6 * Added a flag B_DISK_SYSTEM_SUPPORTS_WRITING to determine whether or not a

Ingo Weinhold 4612433715 * Added parameter "size_t align" to file_map_translate(). If > 1, the
vector at the end of the file will be aligned to the given value.
* BFS uses an alignment of 512 bytes (should be block size of the
  underlying device or BFS block size, whatever is less), which should
  be fine, since file data are only stored in BFS blocks. This totally
  avoids any partial operations at the I/O scheduler level, thus saving
  disk operations. Not that I could measure any performance difference.
  Theoretically it should help a lot though, particularly when dealing
  with lots of small files, since we avoid using bounce buffers, which
  are (a) limited in number and (b) require copying of the data.

Axel Dörfler 3c1a3047a4 * Added file_cache_is_enabled() function.
* Added file_map_set_mode() function that you can use to keep a whole file
  cached. This is needed for the swap file support: FILE_MAP_CACHE_ALL will
  not only precache all file_io_vecs when called, but it will also cause all
  file_map_translate() calls to fail that would require further caching (ie.
  if the file size had changed).
* Updated the fs_shell file map code to the latest one (with several bug fixes).

Ingo Weinhold 7491000f20 Added functions file_cache_{disable,enable}(). They allow to disable
actual caching in the file cache, i.e. all reads and writes go directly
to the underlying device. The implementation is not quite complete,
since the VM can still add pages to the cache when the file is mmap()ed,
which can lead to inconsistencies.

Axel Dörfler 6449b66e22 * As pointed out by Andreas, the previous patch wasn't really correct; ALLPERMS
should really contain all permission bits.
* It now uses S_ISVTX instead of S_ISTXT - this is how it works in Linux as
  well, while FreeBSD uses S_ISTXT there (but S_ISTXT and S_ISVTX have the
  same value there, too).
* Also fixed the fs_shell this time.

Ingo Weinhold 7f12cc54a7 * It is now supported that I/O operations and requests are only handled
partially (e.g. due to hitting the end of file). The respective
  classes have grown new methods and attributes to deal with that. The
  "finished" callbacks have got additional parameters to indicate
  whether the transfer was only partial and how much has been
  transferred. Other callbacks and functions have a size_t* in/out
  parameter instead of a simple size_t, now.
* vfs_{read,write}_pages() do now use the I/O request framework instead
  of the underlying FS's {read,write}_pages() hooks (those should be
  unused now). Furthermore they've got an additional "flags" parameter,
  which is passed to IORequest::Init(), i.e. it allows to specify that
  the given vecs refer to physical addresses.
* The file cache's read_into_cache() reads directly into physical
  pages, now.
* Fixed bug in DoIO::IO(): The offset was not adjusted, so that all
  pages were incorrectly transferred from/to the same location.
* Fixed broken subrequest scheduling loop head in
  do_iterative_fd_io_iterate().
* Adjusted the test driver and implemented its io() hook. Using this
  driver I/O requests are passed all the way from the VFS/VM to the
  driver and through the I/O scheduler. It even seems to work. :-)
* Added missing const to the iovec* parameter of the IORequest::Init()
  methods.
* Disabled some debug output by default. Added new optional debug
  output.

Axel Dörfler 37de5a0d83 * The rw_lock now behaves just like a recursive locker if KDEBUG_RW_LOCK_DEBUG
is defined to 1; this allows asserting the read lock case, too.
* Added ASSERT_{READ|WRITE}_LOCKED_RW_LOCK() macros. The read assertion is only
  working when KDEBUG_RW_LOCK_DEBUG is defined to 1, the write assertion works
  always.

Ingo Weinhold 7e3c202478 Added fssh_volume_for_vnode() and fssh_do[_iterative]_fd_io() to the

2008-07-28 23:36:08 +00:00
Ingo Weinhold ec598fe493 * Added FS interface hooks io() and cancel_io(). The former is supposed
to provide asynchrounous (or only synchronous, if asynchronous is not
  supported) I/O request support. It will eventually replace
  {read,write}_pages(). None of the FS implementations implement them
  yet.
* Implemented some support functions for request-based I/O. File system
  implementations can use do_fd_io() which passes an I/O request to the
  layer responsible for a given FD, and do_iterative_fd_io(), which
  translates a request for a file to subrequests for the underlying
  device and passes them on. Both fall back to synchrounous processing
  when the io() hook is not supported.
  Furthermore added vfs_synchronous_io() which should be handy for the
  devfs to perform io_requests synchronously for devices that don't
  support the io() hook.

Ingo Weinhold e6bd90c58d * bfs_fsync() was the only place which could cause the
fs_vnode_ops::write_pages() to be called with fsReenter = true. Since
  this is no longer the case, the argument has become superfluous. For
  read_pages() it always was. Removed the argument from the functions
  and all functions that propagated it.
* Some whitespace at the end of lines was removed.

Axel Dörfler 78b32dd026 * The rw_lock is now able to nest read/write locks when you have a write lock.
It follows the semantics of the BFS R/W lock, though, that is, if you unlock
  your write lock before the read locks, the read locks effectively become
  write locks, too.
* Added a mutex_transfer_lock() function that will allow you to unlock a mutex
  in a different thread than the one which locked it (only matters if KDEBUG
  is enabled, though).

2008-04-30 00:06:17 +00:00
Ingo Weinhold 7ffafac8d7 * Reorganized the FS interface a little:
- 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.

Axel Dörfler a121b8c83c * Added a new flag for write stat: B_STAT_SIZE_INSECURE that allows a
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.

Axel Dörfler 5d0afa4e4e * cache_detach_sub_transaction() didn't really work: it did not put all needed
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.

Axel Dörfler 4fc4f2c8ae * Added a transaction listener mechanism to be notified when a
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.

Axel Dörfler 21885de266 * BFS now always writes back the whole block when it writes the super block.
* 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.

Axel Dörfler 4a31d30e84 * The file map needs to know the actual file size to be able to know if it has
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.

Axel Dörfler 3d268eda3d * Extracted file_map API out of the file cache - it's now an optional service
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.

Ingo Weinhold bf95c9aee6 * The shadow_changed() FS and partitioning system hooks take an
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.

Ingo Weinhold db5c68ca46 * Added the partition size as parameter to the file and partitioning
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.

Axel Dörfler 3e9513aa4a * fs_{write|read}_pages() now has an additional argument "mayBlock".
* 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.

Ingo Weinhold 76a8ec23db * Added disk system flags for whether a partition name and partition
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.

  parameters like the other hooks instead of the partition path.

* Implemented the FS initialization method in KFileSystem.
