| Miklos Szeredi | 67453ec | 2005-01-18 07:59:08 +0000 | [diff] [blame^] | 1 | What is new in 2.2 |
| 2 | |
| 3 | Userspace changes: |
| 4 | |
| 5 | - Add fuse_file_info structure to file operations, this allows the filesystem |
| 6 | to return a file handle in open() which is passed to read(), write(), flush(), |
| 7 | fsync() and release(). |
| 8 | |
| 9 | - Add source compatibility with 2.1 and 1.4 releases |
| 10 | |
| 11 | - Binary compatibility with 2.1 release is retained |
| 12 | |
| 13 | Kernel changes: |
| 14 | |
| 15 | - Make requests interruptible. This prevents the filesystem to go |
| 16 | into an unbreakable deadlock with itself. |
| 17 | |
| 18 | - Make readpages() synchronous. Asynchronous requests are deadlock |
| 19 | prone, since they cannot be interrupted (see above) |
| 20 | |
| 21 | - Remove shared-writeable mapping support, which could deadlock the |
| 22 | machine |
| 23 | |
| 24 | - Remove INVALIDATE userspace initiated request |
| 25 | |
| 26 | - Update ABI to be independent of sizeof(long), so dual-size archs |
| 27 | don't cause problems |
| 28 | |
| 29 | - Remove /sys/fs/fuse/version. Version checking is now done through |
| 30 | the fuse device |
