Some of the improvements to the abstractions and example drivers are:
- Filesystem support (`fs` module), including:
+ `INode` type (which wraps `struct inode`).
+ `DEntry` type (which wraps `struct dentry`).
+ `Filename` type (which wraps `struct filename`).
+ `Registration` type.
+ `Type` and `Context` traits.
+ `SuperBlock` type (which wraps `struct super_block` and takes
advantage of typestates for its initialization).
+ File system parameters support (with a `Value` enum; `Spec*`
and `Constant*` types, `define_fs_params!` macro...).
+ File system flags.
+ `module_fs!` macro to simplify registering kernel modules that
only implement a single file system.
+ A file system sample.
None of this (afaict) has been discussed on linux-fsdevel. And I may
have missed somethiing, but I don't see the fs module in this series
of patches. Could linux-fsdevel be cc'd on the development of Rust
support for filesystems in the future?
