The motivation here is to simplify lfsr_mount, but there's a number of
knock-on effects.
For one, lfsr_mount should now be faster on filesystems with large
blocks:
O(nb(log b)(log_b n)) -> O(nb(log_b n))
But we now no longer check if our filesystem contains orphaned
stickynotes or unknown filetypes:
- Orphaned stickynotes turned out to not be a big deal. If we find
orphans we'd need to do a second traversal to remove them anyways (no
mutation allowed in lfsr_mount), so this actually ends up a net
improvement in the found-orphan case.
If anything, doing a traversal on first write sets user expectations
correctly, and can be offloaded with lfsr_fs_mkconsistent or
lfsr_fs_gc.
- Unknown filetypes are a bit more annoying (I actually forgot about
this check), but unknown filetypes that require special care should
probably set WCOMPAT/RCOMPAT flags.
Allowing unknown filetypes is a bit more flexible in cases where a
filesystem image is being shared between drivers with different
features (bootloader + app for example).
Though we should probably add more checks/tests that we're handling
these correctly now that we no longer just bail during mount...
Also renamed LFS_I_HASORPHANS -> LFS_I_UNTIDY.
Not doing something is cheaper than doing something, so this saves a bit
of code:
code stack ctx
before: 38120 2624 752
after: 38020 (-0.3%) 2624 (+0.0%) 752 (+0.0%)
