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.

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.

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.

inode - unlike get_vnode() the busy flag won't prevent you from getting that
reference.
* Changed put_vnode() to return an error in case the vnode couldn't be found.
git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@26713 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96
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.

FS shell. The latter two lack an implementation yet, though.

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.

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.
git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@26579 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96
* Added BDiskDeviceRoster::GetDiskSystem() method, that can get a disk system
by short/pretty/module name - since they should all be unique, I put them
in a single namespace, please complain if you don't like that :-)
* Cleaned up DiskSystem.h and DiskDeviceRoster.h according to the updated
header guidelines.
* Renamed ntfs pretty name from "ntfs File System" to "Windows NT File System".

- 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.

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.
git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@24555 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96
the former ones).
* Removed extraneous white space.
* net_server settings are now also updated when the size of the
file changed.
git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@24552 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96
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.
git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@22475 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96
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.
