#include <stdbool.h>
#include <malloc.h>

#include <hashtbl.h>
#include <mutex.h>

#include <fs.h> 		// common header

// How to use :
// - When using a filesystem : never call the operations in fs_*_ops_t directly, use
// 		the functions defined bellow in section "public functions";
//		Users of the VFS should not manipulate directly fs_node_t items, only fs_t and fs_handle_t
// - When programming a filesystem : don't worry about allocating the fs_handle_t and fs_t,
// 		it is done automatically
// - The three types defined below (filesystem, fs node, file handle) are reference-counters to
//		some data managed by the underlying filesystem. The following types are aliases to void*,
//		but are used to disambiguate the different types of void* : fs_handle_ptr, fs_node_ptr, fs_ptr

// Conventions :
// - ioctl returns negative values on error. null or positives are valid return values from underlying
//		driver

// About thread safety :
// - The VFS implements a locking mechanism on FS nodes so that only one operation is executed
//		at the same time on a given node (including: open, stat, walk, delete, move, create, ioctl)
// - The VFS does not implement locks on handles : several simultaneous read/writes are possible, and
//		it is the driver's responsiblity to prevent that if necessary
// - The VFS does not lock nodes that have a handle open to them : it is the FS code's responsibility
//		to refuse some commands if neccessary on a node that is open.
// - The VFS does not implement any locking mechanism on filesystems themselves (e.g. the add_source
//		implementation must have its own locking system)

// -------------------------------------------
// Structure defining a handle to an open file
// This structure is entirely managed by the VFS, the underlying filesystem does not see it
// For IPC structures (sockets, channels), fs and node are null because the handle does not reference
// an underlying object. The ops and data fields are filled in by the IPC code with corresponding
// data structures. All VFS calls are done on ops and data as specified in the handle and not the node.

// -------------------------------------------
// Structure defining a filesystem node
// In the future this is where FS-level cache may be implemented : calls to dispose() are not
// executed immediately when refcount falls to zero but only when we need to free memory
// Remarks :
//  - fs_node_t not to be used in public interface
//  - nodes keep a reference to their parent
//  - a FS node is either in memory (after one call to walk() on its parent), or not in memory
//		it can be in memory only once : if it is in memory, walk() cannot be called on the parent again
//  - delete() is expected to unlink the node from its parent (make it inaccessible) and delete
//		the corresponding data. It is guaranteed that delete() is never called on a node that
//		is currently in use. (different from posix semantics !)
//	- move() may be called on a node that is currently in use
//  - the root node of a filesystem is created when the filesystem is created
//	- dispose() is not called on the root node when a filesystem is shutdown
//	- delete() is not expected to delete recursively : it should fail on a non-empty directory
