- /* #Specification: umsdos / readdir
- * umsdos_readdir() should fill a struct dirent with
- * an inode number. The cheap way to get it is to
- * do a lookup in the MSDOS directory for each
- * entry processed by the readdir() function.
- * This is not very efficient, but very simple. The
- * other way around is to maintain a copy of the inode
- * number in the EMD file. This is a problem because
- * this has to be maintained in sync using tricks.
- * Remember that MSDOS (the OS) does not update the
- * modification time (mtime) of a directory. There is
- * no easy way to tell that a directory was modified
- * during a DOS session and synchronise the EMD file.
- */
- /* #Specification: readdir / . and ..
- * The msdos filesystem manages the . and .. entry properly
- * so the EMD file won't hold any info about it.
- *
- * In readdir, we assume that for the root directory
- * the read position will be 0 for ".", 1 for "..". For
- * a non root directory, the read position will be 0 for "."
- * and 32 for "..".
- */
- /*
- * This is a trick used by the msdos file system (fs/msdos/dir.c)
- * to manage . and .. for the root directory of a file system.
- * Since there is no such entry in the root, fs/msdos/dir.c
- * use the following:
- *
- * if f_pos == 0, return ".".
- * if f_pos == 1, return "..".
- *
- * So let msdos handle it
- *
- * Since umsdos entries are much larger, we share the same f_pos.
- * if f_pos is 0 or 1 or 32, we are clearly looking at . and
- * ..
- *
- * As soon as we get f_pos == 2 or f_pos == 64, then back to
- * 0, but this time we are reading the EMD file.
- *
- * Well, not so true. The problem, is that UMSDOS_REC_SIZE is
- * also 64, so as soon as we read the first record in the
- * EMD, we are back at offset 64. So we set the offset
- * to UMSDOS_SPECIAL_DIRFPOS(3) as soon as we have read the
- * .. entry from msdos.
- *
- * Now (linux 1.3), umsdos_readdir can read more than one
- * entry even if we limit (umsdos_dir_once) to only one:
- * It skips over hidden file. So we switch to
- * UMSDOS_SPECIAL_DIRFPOS as soon as we have read successfully
- * the .. entry.
- */
- /* #Specification: umsdos / lookup / inode info
- * After successfully reading an inode from the MSDOS
- * filesystem, we use the EMD file to complete it.
- * We update the following field.
- *
- * uid, gid, atime, ctime, mtime, mode.
- *
- * We rely on MSDOS for mtime. If the file
- * was modified during an MSDOS session, at least
- * mtime will be meaningful. We do this only for regular
- * file.
- *
- * We don't rely on MS-DOS for mtime for directories
- * because the MS-DOS date on a directory is its
- * creation time (strange MSDOS behavior) which
- * corresponds to none of the three Unix time stamps.
- */
- /* #Specification: umsdos / conversion mode
- * The msdos filesystem can do some inline conversion
- * of the data of a file. It can translate silently
- * from the MS-DOS text file format to the Unix one
- * (CRLF -> LF) while reading, and the reverse
- * while writing. This is activated using the mount
- * option conv=....
- *
- * This is not useful for Linux files in a promoted
- * directory. It can even be harmful. For this
- * reason, the binary (no conversion) mode is
- * always activated.
- */
- /* #Specification: umsdos / conversion mode / todo
- * A flag could be added to file and directories
- * forcing an automatic conversion mode (as
- * done with the msdos filesystem).
- *
- * This flag could be setup on a directory basis
- * (instead of file) and all files in it would
- * logically inherit it. If the conversion mode
- * is active (conv=) then the i_binary flag would
- * be left untouched in those directories.
- *
- * It was proposed that the sticky bit be used to set
- * this. A problem with that is that new files would
- * be written incorrectly. The other problem is that
- * the sticky bit has a meaning for directories. So
- * another bit should be used (there is some space
- * in the EMD file for it) and a special utility
- * would be used to assign the flag to a directory).
- * I don't think it is useful to assign this flag
- * on a single file.
- */
- * #Specification: weakness / rename
- * There is a case where UMSDOS rename has a different behavior
- * than a normal Unix file system. Renaming an open file across
- * directory boundary does not work. Renaming an open file within
- * a directory does work, however.
- *
- * The problem may is in Linux VFS driver for msdos.
- * I believe this is not a bug but a design feature, because
- * an inode number represents some sort of directory address
- * in the MSDOS directory structure, so moving the file into
- * another directory does not preserve the inode number.
- */
- /* #Specification: rename / new name exist
- * If the destination name already exists, it will
- * silently be removed. EXT2 does it this way
- * and this is the spec of SunOS. So does UMSDOS.
- *
- * If the destination is an empty directory it will
- * also be removed.
- */
- /* #Specification: rename / new name exist / possible flaw
- * The code to handle the deletion of the target (file
- * and directory) use to be in umsdos_rename_f, surrounded
- * by proper directory locking. This was ensuring that only
- * one process could achieve a rename (modification) operation
- * in the source and destination directory. This was also
- * ensuring the operation was "atomic".
- *
- * This has been changed because this was creating a
- * stack overflow (the stack is only 4 kB) in the kernel. To avoid
- * the code doing the deletion of the target (if exist) has
- * been moved to a upper layer. umsdos_rename_f is tried
- * once and if it fails with EEXIST, the target is removed
- * and umsdos_rename_f is done again.
- *
- * This makes the code cleaner and may solve a
- * deadlock problem one tester was experiencing.
- *
- * The point is to mention that possibly, the semantic of
- * "rename" may be wrong. Anyone dare to check that :-)
- * Be aware that IF it is wrong, to produce the problem you
- * will need two process trying to rename a file to the
- * same target at the same time. Again, I am not sure it
- * is a problem at all.

- /* #Specification: hard link / strategy
- * Hard links are difficult to implement on top of an MS-DOS FAT file
- * system. Unlike Unix file systems, there are no inodes. A directory
- * entry holds the functionality of the inode and the entry.
- *
- * We will used the same strategy as a normal Unix file system
- * (with inodes) except we will do it symbolically (using paths).
- *
- * Because anything can happen during a DOS session (defragment,
- * directory sorting, etc.), we can't rely on an MS-DOS pseudo
- * inode number to record the link. For this reason, the link
- * will be done using hidden symbolic links. The following
- * scenario illustrates how it works.
- *
- * Given a file /foo/file
- *
- * #
- * ln /foo/file /tmp/file2
- *
- * become internally
- *
- * mv /foo/file /foo/-LINK1
- * ln -s /foo/-LINK1 /foo/file
- * ln -s /foo/-LINK1 /tmp/file2
- * #
- *
- * Using this strategy, we can operate on /foo/file or /foo/file2.
- * We can remove one and keep the other, like a normal Unix hard link.
- * We can rename /foo/file or /tmp/file2 independently.
- *
- * The entry -LINK1 will be hidden. It will hold a link count.
- * When all link are erased, the hidden file is erased too.
- */
- /* #Specification: weakness / hard link
- * The strategy for hard link introduces a side effect that
- * may or may not be acceptable. Here is the sequence
- *
- * #
- * mkdir subdir1
- * touch subdir1/file
- * mkdir subdir2
- * ln subdir1/file subdir2/file
- * rm subdir1/file
- * rmdir subdir1
- * rmdir: subdir1: Directory not empty
- * #
- *
- * This happen because there is an invisible file (--link) in
- * subdir1 which is referenced by subdir2/file.
- *
- * Any idea ?
- */
- /* #Specification: weakness / hard link / rename directory
- * Another weakness of hard link come from the fact that
- * it is based on hidden symbolic links. Here is an example.
- *
- * #
- * mkdir /subdir1
- * touch /subdir1/file
- * mkdir /subdir2
- * ln /subdir1/file subdir2/file
- * mv /subdir1 subdir3
- * ls -l /subdir2/file
- * #
- *
- * Since /subdir2/file is a hidden symbolic link
- * to /subdir1/..hlinkNNN, accessing it will fail since
- * /subdir1 does not exist anymore (has been renamed).
- */
- /* #Specification: hard link / directory
- * A hard link can't be made on a directory. EPERM is returned
- * in this case.
- */
- /* #Specification: hard link / first hard link
- * The first time a hard link is done on a file, this
- * file must be renamed and hidden. Then an internal
- * symbolic link must be done on the hidden file.
- *
- * The second link is done after on this hidden file.
- *
- * It is expected that the Linux MSDOS file system
- * keeps the same pseudo inode when a rename operation
- * is done on a file in the same directory.
- */
- /* #Specification: function name / convention
- * A simple convention for function names has been used in
- * the UMSDOS filesystem. First, all functions use the prefix
- * umsdos_ to avoid name clashes with other parts of the kernel.
- *
- * Standard VFS entry points use the prefix UMSDOS (upper case)
- * so it's easier to tell them apart.
- * N.B. (FIXME) PTW, the order and contents of this struct changed.
- */
- /* #Specification: mount / options
- * Umsdos run on top of msdos. Currently, it supports no
- * mount option, but happily pass all option received to
- * the msdos driver. I am not sure if all msdos mount option
- * make sense with Umsdos. Here are at least those who
- * are useful.
- * uid=
- * gid=
- *
- * These options affect the operation of umsdos in directories
- * which do not have an EMD file. They behave like normal
- * msdos directory, with all limitation of msdos.
- */
- /* #Specification: pseudo root / mount
- * When a umsdos fs is mounted, a special handling is done
- * if it is the root partition. We check for the presence
- * of the file /linux/etc/init or /linux/etc/rc or
- * /linux/sbin/init. If one is there, we do a chroot("/linux").
- *
- * We check both because (see init/main.c) the kernel
- * try to exec init at different place and if it fails
- * it tries /bin/sh /etc/rc. To be consistent with
- * init/main.c, many more test would have to be done
- * to locate init. Any complain ?
- *
- * The chroot is done manually in init/main.c but the
- * info (the inode) is located at mount time and store
- * in a global variable (pseudo_root) which is used at
- * different place in the umsdos driver. There is no
- * need to store this variable elsewhere because it
- * will always be one, not one per mount.
- *
- * This feature allows the installation
- * of a linux system within a DOS system in a subdirectory.
- *
- * A user may install its linux stuff in c:linux
- * avoiding any clash with existing DOS file and subdirectory.
- * When linux boots, it hides this fact, showing a normal
- * root directory with /etc /bin /tmp ...
- *
- * The word "linux" is hardcoded in /usr/include/linux/umsdos_fs.h
- * in the macro UMSDOS_PSDROOT_NAME.
