Re: New procfs implementation

2010-08-31 Thread Samuel Thibault 
Heya,

Just some general comments.

Which use do you envision?

> procfs.c

is caching data really useful for anything but directories?
I'm afraid of all the various re-reading patterns that tools may have.

procfs.c: About 42, 2 can be a better FIXME guess for now, since that's
the root inode in ext2fs.

procfs_make_ino: this is not handling collisions. This can pose problems
with e.g. tar-ing /proc with hardlink management (yes, I sometimes do
such thing). I'm afraid it might be better to just assign known major
numbers to the various content providers (yes, that's not elegant), let
them handle minor numbers, and combine both. That would help to fill
d_fileno.

netfs_*: shouldn't we check the node type?

rootdir.c: you have #define KERNEL_PID 2 while it was made a translator
parameter in main.c, is it on purpose?  If so, it's probably worth
documenting.
