Don't use string concatenation with __FUNCTION__ as gcc-3.x don't like it.
2002/07/07 19:44:57-00:00 !antona
Change ntfs_read_file_record() not to abort if the inode is not in use. Adapt callers which care to check this themselves.
2002/07/02 23:47:10-00:00 !antona
Global replacement of __[su]{8,16,32,64} with [su]{8,16,32,64} and layout.h define it.
2002/06/08 14:12:01-00:00 !antona
ntfs_readdir() has arrived.
2002/06/05 20:32:53-00:00 !antona
Mft mirror now updated from ntfs_write_mft_record, yey! Fixup ntfstools accordingly.
2002/06/01 00:41:45-00:00 !antona
huge update!
2002/04/27 19:49:09-00:00 !antona
Update library, new APIs ntfs_attr_find_vcn(), misc fixes and cleanups, make all the utilities compile, fix bugs I noticed in ntfslabel and it now works properly.
2002/04/24 23:47:42-00:00 !antona
Hammer out the API for run list merging. Add calls for low level (using raw run lists and ATTR_RECORDs as parameters) run list merging, mappaing pairs decompression, and vcn to lcn conversion as well as high level (using ntfs_attr as parameter) calls for run list mapping and vcn to lcn conversion.
2002/04/22 10:34:31-00:00 !antona
Attribute list support (merging done, part 2, some stuff still incomplete). mkntfs ntfs volume creation. See the changelog...
2002/04/20 23:09:42-00:00 !antona
Port attribute lookup functions with attribute list support from ntfs tng driver. Port/reimplement extent mft record handling code as well. Rename out all dollar signs from type names and constants. Adapt all callers to new API. Note mkntfs is currently broken due to some needed work.
2002/04/20 01:53:02-00:00 !antona
Rename mft code adding ntfs_ prefix. Change all return values to zero on success. Thanks to mattjf for pointing out the inconsistencies.
2002/04/16 12:13:53-00:00 !antona
New API function mft.[ch]::read_file_record(). Also some cleanups.
2002/04/15 20:04:27-00:00 !antona
Fix all compiler warnings that came up with -Wall. Enabled -Wall for ./configure --enable-debug everywhere. Fix a few bugs in mkntfs that came up in the warnings (just error code paths, nothing major).
2002/04/15 19:02:40-00:00 !antona
Really fix the library and mkntfs while at it.
2002/04/15 18:54:07-00:00 !antona
Update library for the new API.
2002/04/15 18:39:37-00:00 !antona
Cleanup some mistakes.
2002/04/15 17:51:26-00:00 !antona
read/write_mft_record(s) are here
2002/04/15 00:42:07-00:00 !antona
Big rewrite of disk_io.c. Now should have stable API for low level disk access. Move all mft record related stuff from disk_io.c to mft.c.
2002/04/14 14:08:30-00:00 !antona
Cleanup library code. Throw away unused stuff.
2002/04/14 13:34:49-00:00 !antona
Throw away all unnecessary crap.
2001/12/15 05:13:08-00:00 !antona
Remove atomic ops and add compiler version check.

It has been a long time since last commit. At moment have done a lot of work
on mkntfs but also at the moment ntfsfix and ntfsdump_logfile and libntfs are
broken. Basically only mkntfs works and that is not complete either.

Almost fixed compilaton. Remember to declare a struct type with
struct NAME { declaration }; rather than the bogus struct { declaration NAME };
then can use typedef NAME othername; on a forward declaration of NAME
(struct NAME;) and all is fine...
2001/04/11 11:49:16-00:00 !antona
Header file reorganisation so that it compiles.

Ok, ntfsd was a mistake for userspace. It increases complexity no end while
not giving us much functionality. Lets get it working and then worry about the
kernel. - As it was the idea originally anyway, so this is just a return on the
right track. (-8
We keep the timer and signal handler but the only thing we do is to set a bool
flag (ntfs_need_sync) and we will just check this in appropriate places and
if it is true we call ntfs_sync_volumes() which sets it back to false. This
means no more locking at all of any description and no need to worry about the
signal handler interrupting things in bad ways and/or at bad times in the main
code.

More or less finished file handling. (Probably some useful functions are
still missing but they will be implemented as need arises.)
One thing that is stupid at the moment is we don't limit the amount of
cached mft_records so if you were to load loads the machine would eventually
run out of memory... Can't happen with files as they are limited to 1000,
unless you are short of memory. (Hard limit at the moment, set in ntfs_mount().
Maybe ntfsd should be monitoring memory usage and be throwing out unused cache
entries and closed_files? That would mean to have locking everywhere, though.)
Still missing: - Convert old code to use new stuff. - Add non-resident
attributes somewhere. Either into the mft_entry structure or into the
ntfs_file structure, but which? At the moment I tend to mft_entry so they can
be synced together with the entries by ntfsd.

User space conversion of locking complete. I settled for using simple spinlocks
and atomic variables and instead of deadlocking/livelocking when using
spin_lock(), use spin_trylock() in a while letting go of the cpu between each
call and making a maximum of 100 iterations (or we return EDEADLK error code).
This is not the most efficient way, especially as can't have multiple readers
but it is the simplest way to go about things.
Should now have (almost) all required helper functions for dealing with mft
entries implemented.
Now need the file handling and then convert the whole project to use the new
code and then can finally get back to work on attribute searching...

Commit of current state of development including locking a la kernel.
This doesn't work on user space (semaphores don't work).
Just want to have it committed. Will take out locking / modify it where
necessary to use pthreads ASAP.
2001/04/03 23:38:34-00:00 !antona
Mark mft entry dirty function complete

2001/01/25 22:25:43-00:00 !antona
More files added to ntfs lib. Fixed some consistency problems.
