Unlike DirectoryEntry (which is used when constructing directories),
DirectoryEntryView does not manage storage for file names. Names are
just StringViews.
This is much more suited to the directory traversal API and makes
it easier to implement this in file system classes since they no
longer need to create temporary name copies while traversing.
In #3001 I was trying to fix result propagation issues, and
I actually just introduced another one. Luckily Ben spotted
it in the diff after it was in the tree, thanks Ben!
This fixes a bug where the mode of a FIFO was reported as 001000 instead
of 0010000 (you see the difference? me nethier), and hopefully doesn't
introduce new bugs. I've left 0777 and similar in a few places, because
that is *more* readable than its symbolic version.
We're going to make use of it in the next commit. But the idea is we want to
know how this File (more specifically, InodeFile) was opened in order to decide
how chown()/chmod() should behave, in particular whether it should be allowed or
not. Note that many other File operations, such as read(), write(), and ioctl(),
already require the caller to pass a FileDescription.
Allow file system implementation to return meaningful error codes to
callers of the FileDescription::read_entire_file(). This allows both
Process::sys$readlink() and Process::sys$module_load() to return more
detailed errors to the user.
In contrast to the previous patchset that was reverted, this time we use
a "special" method to access a file with block size of 512 bytes (like
a harddrive essentially).
You can now mmap a file as private and writable, and the changes you
make will only be visible to you.
This works because internally a MAP_PRIVATE region is backed by a
unique PrivateInodeVMObject instead of using the globally shared
SharedInodeVMObject like we always did before. :^)
Fixes#1045.
As suggested by Joshua, this commit adds the 2-clause BSD license as a
comment block to the top of every source file.
For the first pass, I've just added myself for simplicity. I encourage
everyone to add themselves as copyright holders of any file they've
added or modified in some significant way. If I've added myself in
error somewhere, feel free to replace it with the appropriate copyright
holder instead.
Going forward, all new source files should include a license header.
Supervisor Mode Access Prevention (SMAP) is an x86 CPU feature that
prevents the kernel from accessing userspace memory. With SMAP enabled,
trying to read/write a userspace memory address while in the kernel
will now generate a page fault.
Since it's sometimes necessary to read/write userspace memory, there
are two new instructions that quickly switch the protection on/off:
STAC (disables protection) and CLAC (enables protection.)
These are exposed in kernel code via the stac() and clac() helpers.
There's also a SmapDisabler RAII object that can be used to ensure
that you don't forget to re-enable protection before returning to
userspace code.
THis patch also adds copy_to_user(), copy_from_user() and memset_user()
which are the "correct" way of doing things. These functions allow us
to briefly disable protection for a specific purpose, and then turn it
back on immediately after it's done. Going forward all kernel code
should be moved to using these and all uses of SmapDisabler are to be
considered FIXME's.
Note that we're not realizing the full potential of this feature since
I've used SmapDisabler quite liberally in this initial bring-up patch.
In order to ensure a specific owner and mode when the local socket
filesystem endpoint is instantiated, we need to be able to call
fchmod() and fchown() on a socket fd between socket() and bind().
This is because until we call bind(), there is no filesystem inode
for the socket yet.
This code never worked, as was never used for anything. We can build
a much better SHM implementation on top of TmpFS or similar when we
get to the point when we need one.
Files opened with O_DIRECT will now bypass the disk cache in read/write
operations (though metadata operations will still hit the disk cache.)
This will allow us to test actual disk performance instead of testing
disk *cache* performance, if that's what we want. :^)
There's room for improvment here, we're very aggressively flushing any
dirty cache entries for the specific block before reading/writing that
block. This is done by walking the entire cache, which may be slow.
I have no idea why this was here. It makes no sense. If you're trying
to find out if something is a directory, why wouldn't you be allowed to
ask that about a FIFO? :^)
Thanks to Brandon for spotting this!
Also, while we're here, cache the directory state in a bool member so
we don't have to keep fetching inode metadata when checking this
repeatedly. This is important since sys$read() now calls it.
This is more logical and allows us to solve the problem of
non-blocking TCP sockets getting stuck in SocketRole::None.
The only complication is that a single LocalSocket may be shared
between two file descriptions (on the connect and accept sides),
and should have two different roles depending from which side
you look at it. To deal with it, Socket::role() is made a
virtual method that accepts a file description, and LocalSocket
internally tracks which FileDescription is the which one and
returns a correct role.
Now that there can't be multiple clones of the same fd,
we only need to track whether or not an fd exists on each
side. Also there's no point in tracking connecting fds.
After a fork, the parent and the child are supposed to share
the same file description. For example, modifying the current
offset of a file description is visible in both of them.
Committing some things my hands did while browsing through this code.
- Mark all leaf classes "final".
- FileDescriptionBlocker now stores a NonnullRefPtr<FileDescription>.
- FileDescriptionBlocker::blocked_description() now returns a reference.
- ConditionBlocker takes a Function&&.
This is obviously more readable. If we ever run into a situation where
ref count churn is actually causing trouble in the future, we can deal with
it then. For now, let's keep it simple. :^)
After reading a bunch of POSIX specs, I've learned that a file descriptor
is the number that refers to a file description, not the description itself.
So this patch renames FileDescriptor to FileDescription, and Process now has
FileDescription* file_description(int fd).
