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).
This was only used by HashTable::dump() which I used when doing the
first HashTable implementation. Removing this allows us to also remove
most includes of <AK/kstdio.h>.
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.
If we're creating something that should have a different owner than the
current process's UID/GID, we need to plumb that all the way through
VFS down to the FS functions.
Currently only Ext2FS and TmpFS supports InodeWatchers. We now fail
with ENOTSUPP if watch_file() is called on e.g ProcFS.
This fixes an issue with FileManager chewing up all the CPU when /proc
was opened. Watchers don't keep the watched Inode open, and when they
close, the watcher FD will EOF.
Since nothing else kept /proc open in FileManager, the watchers created
for it would EOF immediately, causing a refresh over and over.
Fixes#879.
Using int was a mistake. This patch changes String, StringImpl,
StringView and StringBuilder to use size_t instead of int for lengths.
Obviously a lot of code needs to change as a result of this.
Also added some assertions to DirectoryEntry in case someone tries to
instantiate them with names that would overflow the name buffer.
DirectoryEntry is a crappy data structure, and the name buffer is also
crappy. Added a FIXME about replacing it with something nicer.
Before this patch, the DirectoryEntry::name buffer would overflow if
you did "touch extremely-long-file-name". Duh.
Fixes#538.
This was a workaround to be able to build on case-insensitive file
systems where it might get confused about <string.h> vs <String.h>.
Let's just not support building that way, so String.h can have an
objectively nicer name. :^)
It is now possible to unmount file systems from the VFS via `umount`.
It works via looking up the `fsid` of the filesystem from the `Inode`'s
metatdata so I'm not sure how fragile it is. It seems to work for now
though as something to get us going.
This is prep work for supporting HashMap with NonnullRefPtr<T> as values.
It's currently not possible because many HashTable functions require being
able to default-construct the value type.
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).
Also run it across the whole tree to get everything using the One True Style.
We don't yet run this in an automated fashion as it's a little slow, but
there is a snippet to do so in makeall.sh.
This way you can spam small write()s on a file without the kernel writing
to disk every single time. Flushes are included in the FS::sync() operation
and will get triggered regularly by syncd. :^)
