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.

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.

* Renamed a few parameters of the FS module hooks:
- *file in the attribute functions to *vnode
- v to vnode
- I could barely restrain myself from renaming the "_*" parameters. I
understand this marks return parameters, but I'd prefer a nicer prefix
or suffix (that doesn't makes you think this is a private/internal
identifier) like "out", "ret", "return", "result", or something similar.
I'd also like to propose renaming {read,write}_link() to
{read,write}_symlink(). Er, and do we need write_link() at all?

parameter during construction).
* Doing so will now result in a kernel panic whenever your file system tries to
write to a block.
git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@18719 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96
Added and implemented new functions cache_blocks_in_[sub_]transaction().

This is needed in case the on-disk representation of a file changes (due to reorganization/defragmentation).
git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@13660 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96
Added API for sub transactions (not yet implemented).
Added file_cache_sync() function.
