The function `KString::must_create()` can only be enforced
during early boot (that is, when `g_in_early_boot` is true), hence
the use of this function during runtime causes a `VERIFY` to assert,
leading to a Kernel Panic.
We should instead use `TRY()` along with `try_create()` to prevent
this from crashing whenever a USB device is inserted into the system,
and we don't have enough memory to allocate the device's KString.
Instead, allocate before constructing the object and pass NonnullOwnPtr
of KString to the object if needed. Some classes can determine their
names as they have a known attribute to look for or have a static name.
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. :^)
The default template argument is only used in one place, and it
looks like it was probably just an oversight. The rest of the Kernel
code all uses u8 as the type. So lets make that the default and remove
the unused template argument, as there doesn't seem to be a reason to
allow the size to be customizable.
Like with the ProcFS, description data can change at anytime, so it's
wise to ensure that when the userland reads from an Inode, data is
consistent unless the userland indicated it wants to refresh the data
(by seeking to offset 0, or re-attaching the Inode).
Otherwise, if the data changes in the middle of the reading, it can
cause silent corruption in output which can lead to random crashes.
