Use the same trick as SlavePTY and override unref() to provide safe
removal from the sockets_by_tuple table when destroying a TCPSocket.
This should fix the TCPSocket::from_tuple() flake seen on CI.
Calls to link_up() in the E1000 driver would read the link state
directly from the hardware on every call. This had negative
performance impact in high throughput situations since link_up()
is called every time an IP packet's route is resolved.
This patch takes inspiration from the RTL8139 network adapter where
the link state is stored in a bool and only updated when the hardware
generates an interrupt related to link state change.
After this change I measured a ~9% increase in TCP Tx throughput
using:
cat /dev/zero | nc <host_IP> <host_port> from the Serenity VM to my
host machine
Previously we would crash the process immediately when a promise
violation was found during a syscall. This is error prone, as we
don't unwind the stack. This means that in certain cases we can
leak resources, like an OwnPtr / RefPtr tracked on the stack. Or
even leak a lock acquired in a ScopeLockLocker.
To remedy this situation we move the promise violation handling to
the syscall handler, right before we return to user space. This
allows the code to follow the normal unwind path, and grantees
there is no longer any cleanup that needs to occur.
The Process::require_promise() and Process::require_no_promises()
functions were modified to return ErrorOr<void> so we enforce that
the errors are always propagated by the caller.
This change lays the foundation for making the require_promise return
an error hand handling the process abort outside of the syscall
implementations, to avoid cases where we would leak resources.
It also has the advantage that it makes removes a gs pointer read
to look up the current thread, then process for every syscall. We
can instead go through the Process this pointer in most cases.
This was a premature optimization from the early days of SerenityOS.
The eternal heap was a simple bump pointer allocator over a static
byte array. My original idea was to avoid heap fragmentation and improve
data locality, but both ideas were rooted in cargo culting, not data.
We would reserve 4 MiB at boot and only ended up using ~256 KiB, wasting
the rest.
This patch replaces all kmalloc_eternal() usage by regular kmalloc().
Since a socket can be accessed by multiple threads concurrently, we need
to protect shared data behind the socket mutex.
There's very likely more places where we need to fix this, the purpose
of this patch is to fix a VERIFY() failure in getsockopt() seen on CI.
This was used to return a pre-locked UDPSocket in one place, but there
was really no need for that mechanism in the first place since the
caller ends up locking the socket anyway.
The sa_family field in SIOCGIFHWADDR specifies the underlying network
interface's device type, this is hardcoded to generic "Ethernet" right
now, as we don't have a nice way to query it.
This fixes at least half of our LibC includes in the kernel. The source
of truth for errno codes and their description strings now lives in
Kernel/API/POSIX/errno.h as an enumeration, which LibC includes.
Before this commit, we only checked the receive buffer on the socket,
which is unused on datagram streams. Now we return the actual size of
the datagram without the protocol headers, which required the protocol
to tell us what the size of the payload is.
This option is already enabled when building Lagom, so let's enable it
for the main build too. We will no longer be surprised by Lagom Clang
CI builds failing while everything compiles locally.
Furthermore, the stronger `-Wsuggest-override` warning is enabled in
this commit, which enforces the use of the `override` keyword in all
classes, not just those which already have some methods marked as
`override`. This works with both GCC and Clang.
Some calls of copy_to_user were converting Userspace<T*> to
Userspace<U*> via the implicit conversion to FlatPtr. Change them to use
the static_ptr_cast overload that is designed to express this conversion
Instead of signalling allocation failure with a bool return value
(false), we now use ErrorOr<void> and return ENOMEM as appropriate.
This allows us to use TRY() and MUST() with Vector. :^)
We now use AK::Error and AK::ErrorOr<T> in both kernel and userspace!
This was a slightly tedious refactoring that took a long time, so it's
not unlikely that some bugs crept in.
Nevertheless, it does pass basic functionality testing, and it's just
real nice to finally see the same pattern in all contexts. :^)
Found due to smelly code in InodeFile::absolute_path.
In particular, this replaces the following misleading methods:
File::absolute_path
This method *never* returns an actual path, and if called on an
InodeFile (which is impossible), it would VERIFY_NOT_REACHED().
OpenFileDescription::try_serialize_absolute_path
OpenFileDescription::absolute_path
These methods do not guarantee to return an actual path (just like the
other method), and just like Custody::absolute_path they do not
guarantee accuracy. In particular, just renaming the method made a
TOCTOU bug obvious.
The new method signatures use KResultOr, just like
try_serialize_absolute_path() already did.
We were accidentally casting the pointer to m_ttl from an u8* to an int*
which resulted in copying of 3 extra unrelated bytes (which turned out
to be padding in this case).
This change allows the Kernel to actually construct other interfaces
besides the E1000 type.
This solves a breakage that was introduced recently because of move
semantics.
A couple of points on this patch:
1. In current situation, we can waste time to create a KString and throw
it for nothing. This patch ensures we only create it near construction
point so we know we actually need it.
2. It's very likely to assume that non-x86 machines will expose network
device with a device tree (or with ACPI). The raspberry pi machine is a
good example of that. Therefore, each driver should explicitly ask the
correct interface name generation method, and this patch simplifies this
pattern greatly, especially in a case where the same network device can
appear as a PCI device or as device in another bus type on the same
platform target. For example, the (in)famous ne2000 device can be used
either as a PCI device or as an ISA device, depending on the model.
3. In my opinion, it seems much more readable to construct the name near
calling point of the object constructor than to just pass it with move
semantics.
Previously there was a mix of returning plain strings and returning
explicit string views using `operator ""sv`. This change switches them
all to standardized on `operator ""sv` as it avoids a call to strlen.
This allows us to remove the PCI::get_interrupt_line API function. As a
result, this removes a bunch of not so great patterns that we used to
cache PCI interrupt line in many IRQHandler derived classes instead of
just using interrupt_number method of IRQHandler class.
