* Patch from Wayne Bullaughey <wayne@wmi.com>. Comments follow:Joel Sherrill1999-10-051-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | I'm working on code to mount my host based file system on the base file system (imfs) and have a suggestion for a change to eval.c in the c/src/lib/libc directory of the 8/20/1999 snapshot. The current version does not test the result value returned from the evalpath callback (line 47) in the case where follow_link is true. Attached is my suggested change. Without this test the node_type callback may be called after evalpath failed. node_type could set the type to some value other then RTEMS_FILESYSTEM_HARD_LINK or RTEMS_FILESYSTEM_SYM_LINK but it seems cleaner to add the check on result.
* Added base version of file system infrastructure. This includes a majorJoel Sherrill1998-11-231-0/+74
overhaul of the RTEMS system call interface. This base file system is the "In-Memory File System" aka IMFS. The design and implementation was done by the following people: + Joel Sherrill (joel@OARcorp.com) + Jennifer Averett (jennifer@OARcorp.com) + Steve "Mr Mount" Salitasc (salitasc@OARcorp.com) + Kerwin Wade (wade@OARcorp.com) PROBLEMS ======== + It is VERY likely that merging this will break the UNIX port. This can/will be fixed. + There is likely some reentrancy/mutual exclusion needed. + Eventually, there should be a "mini-IMFS" description table to eliminate links, symlinks, etc to save memory. All you need to have "classic RTEMS" functionality is technically directories and device IO. All the rest could be left out to save memory.
