# 846b2f90 06-Jul-2012 Axel Dörfler <axeld@ibm.kiwi>

Changed the kernel's file_map.cpp to be usable from the fs_shell as well.

* This should reduce our maintenance burden a tiny bit :-)
* It also fixes a bug in the fs_shell, see hrev43395.

* 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.

# 589f1a91 07-Jul-2008 Axel Dörfler <axeld@pinc-software.de>

* Made the private kernel locking primitives available to file systems as well.
* Applied Korli's mutex_unlock() fix to block_cache.cpp.
* Removed block_cache_priv.h, as it's no longer needed (moved its definitions
into block_cache.cpp, as in the kernel file).

# 3d268eda 10-Nov-2007 Axel Dörfler <axeld@pinc-software.de>

* 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.

# a38a92c9 26-Apr-2007 Ingo Weinhold <ingo_weinhold@gmx.de>

Beginnings of a new, better portable FS shell with Haiku FS interface.
Doesn't do anything ATM, but already provides the required system
interface (VFS, caches, POSIX functions).
