Steven Whitehouse	d5880f97c5	o Confusingly, dmfs-tdir isn't gone, its now called dmfs-lv.c and its the ... old dmfs-lv.c thats gone. o Dropped out support for multiple tables in line with ioctl interface o Some reordering to better support the userland library o Updated to 2.4.16 I'm fairly happy with the way that this is working now, so the next job is to start the integration with the ioctl interface so there is a single common dm.[ch] and selectable interfaces (fs or ioctl). Further improvements can be made even now, but I hope to wait until we've got this going and integrated and the libdm parts working as well before investigating other avenues.	2001-11-29 14:00:04 +00:00
Steven Whitehouse	e55ef72786	o Fix module ref counts so that you can actually unload dm-mod ... N.B. This means that you have to take very great care in the event that you want to access the dcache tree from in kernel o Added extra field to allow out of memory conditions to result in the correct error code. (This hasn't received a lot of testing...) I've ditched the final project (which would have cleared my whole list) since its got other complications which I don't have time to fix right now. Still as Meatloaf says, two out of three ain't bad!	2001-11-10 17:11:36 +00:00
Steven Whitehouse	01c4ac1315	Tidy and changes to make code smaller. ... o Created dmfs.h as a private header for the filesystem code o Using seq_file.[ch] written by Al Viro as a generic mechanism for /proc style files which have one record per line. We use a slight modification here, so if you are using a recent -ac kernel you'll need to replace the existing seq_file.[ch] with the ones here and do a bit of editing to make it work. I'll submit the changes to Al Viro shortly as they are very small and I think make sense generally. o Using fail_writepage() o Init code for filesystem now all in dmfs-super.c o Some common code reduction amoung the dmfs-*.c files o Auto allocation of major device number (default). You can specify a particular major by using a module argument. If built in then you don't get this option at the moment but it could be added if required. o Hotplug support o General tidying o Updated projects.txt file o Patches updated to 2.4.14	2001-11-07 12:12:56 +00:00
