[User-mode-linux-devel] 2.3.99-pre2 is checked in

[Jeff D. <jd...@ka...>]

The main change is that I redid the system call mechanism.  If the timer 
interrupted at the right point during a system call, the old method would 
cause the system call to return essentially a random number (actually the pid 
of the underlying thread).  This is the cause of the occasional panic during 
fsck.  That should not happen any more.  It may also have caused the syscall 0 
problems.

I added a little bit of geometry support to the block driver.  This allows 
fdisk to run on it and recognize a partition.  Since filesystems leave the 
first couple of blocks alone, you can run fdisk on a filesystem file and put a 
partition table on it.  I would recommend making the whole thing a single 
partition, since there is no support in the driver for multiple partitions in 
a single file.
