this allows members of the -1 group to create new directories in /
without having to fiddle with the fileserver console. this also
makes it consistent to hjfs.
the allow command now takes an optional uid argument for the user
to be granted temporary god status on the fileserver for maintenance.
this was kenji okomotos idea, so thanks :)
remove wstatallow and writeallow flags. instead, we have global:
int allowed;
that contains the uid of the currently allowed user id or -1
if permission checking is globally disabled for the fileserver.
when zero, normal permission checking takes place.
added int isallowed(File*) function that returns non-zero when the
context is the console, or the allowed user. this is also used internally
by iaccess(), so all the extra code of in the callers of iaccess()
is gone now.
dont conflate allowed user with noauth flag and auto-allow on ream.
the installer already knows about noauth and allow flags so theres no
problem with bootstraping.
the malloc pool allocator is limited in its allocation
size. as almost all data structures in cwfs are never
freed, use brk() in ialloc() instead of mallocalign().
this means memory returned by ialloc() cannot be freed!
to make sure we do not call free by accident, remove
the #define malloc(n) ialloc(n, 0) macro and use ialloc()
directly as in the original code to show the intend
of permanent allocations.
before, cwfs would print everything to /dev/cons. this change
will redirect the output of commands to the /srv/cwfs.cmd pipe
so one can use:
con -C /srv/cwfs.cmd
and not have the fish for the output in /dev/kmesg.
use standard error (/dev/cons) for unsolicited messages as
there is not always a reader on the command file.
