Attached. This patch lets us create XIP stages for cbfs.
I'd like to see the picture of what you're imagining here. I thought
CBFS
was designed to grow in only one direction. Are you going to have to
add
components in a certain order to make this work? I don't see where
you're
padding or inserting blank areas.
no, cbfs files can be sparse. There is nothing in the design that requires that all entries be contiguous. In fact, given that remove exists, cbfs has to allow holes.
Someone needs to fix remove then. Right now it moves all entries after it and zeroes the new space. I guess most of my confusion came from the implementation/design gap.
Thanks, Myles
