By adding a 'write_ready' interface following the lines of the existing
'read_ready', VFS plugins become able to propagate the (de-)saturation
of I/O buffers to the VFS user. This information is important when using
a non-blocking file descriptor for writing into a TCP socket. Once the
application observes EAGAIN, it expects a subsequent 'select' call to
return as soon as new I/O buffer space becomes available.
Before this patch, the select call would always return under this
condition, causing an unnecessarily busy write loop.

This patch removes the 'Insufficient_buffer' exception by returning the
WRITE_ERR_WOULD_BLOCK result value instead. It also eliminates the
superfluous WRITE_ERR_AGAIN and WRITE_ERR_INTERRUPT codes.

This patch fosters the batching of network packets transferred by the
lwIP stack over the NIC connection. It replaces the eager submission of
the packet-stream's data-flow signals by explicit wakeup notifications.
The commit also increases the NIC session's buffer size from 128 to 1024
packets.

...and tighten constness in adjacent code parts.
The VFS-internal synchronization via mutexes is no longer needed because
the access to the VFS is serialized by the VFS client, i.e., the libc.
Issue #4697
This patch facilitates the batching of I/O operations in the VFS library
by replacing the implicit wakeup of remote peer (via the traditional
packet-stream interface like 'submit_packet') by explicit wakeup
signalling.
The wakeup signalling is triggered not before the VFS user settles down.
E.g., for libc-based applications, this is the case if the libc goes
idle, waiting for external I/O.
In the case of a busy writer to a non-blocking file descriptor or socket
(e.g., lighttpd), the remote peers are woken up once a write operation
yields an out-count of 0.
The deferring of wakeup signals is accommodated by the new 'Remote_io'
mechanism (vfs/remote_io.h) that is designated to be used by all VFS
plugins that interact with asynchronous Genode services for I/O.
Issue #4697
By replacing the calls of 'acknowledge_packet' and 'get_packet' with
'try_ack_packet' and 'try_get_packet', we avoid the implicit triggering
of data-flow signals. Instead, the VFS server now relies on explicit
calls of the packet stream's 'wakeup' interface.
Issue #4697
Count more accurately how much packets are in flied, and whether
new packets can be handled. Moreover, catch potential exceptions

Although we do not have the full ACPI information parsed yet, to
announce non-PCI devices derived from the ACPI tables, the device
description of the assumed devices is now integral-part of pci_decode.
Formerly, the information was gained separatedly as boot-module, whereby
we lost synchronization in between ACPI/PCI parsing, BIOS handover, and
PS/2 emulation code already acting.
During interrupt handling the driver masked and cleared interrupts as
recommended in the spec to prevent spurious or unnecessary interrupts
from occurring.
Due to the way the current implementation operates new Block requests
got submitted while handling completions for already finished ones.
Since interrupts where masked at this point the controller did not
generate interrupts when the newly submitted requests got completed.
As the mask/clear optimization is apparently not strictly needed and
according to the spec undefined when using MSI-X it is removed.

Some DHCP clients (Debian VM in Sculpt) persistently store the last lease they
obtained and try to directly DHCP REQUEST it on a new startup whithout doing
DHCP DISCOVER beforehand. In case the NIC router doesn't know about the lease
anymore (timeout, new router instance), the router used to just ignore the DHCP
REQUEST. This led to significant delays in the network startup of the client
(delayed retries until give-up and DHCP DISCOVER). With this commit, the router
answers such packets with a DHCP NAK instead, causing the client to directly
switch to DHCP DISCOVER.

The DHCP client used to always send packets with a size of 1024 regardless of
the size of the actual content, which was always significantly lower. 1024

before packet creation, this commit makes use of the knowledge resulting in
much smaller packets sent by the DHCP client.

This commit gets rid of the router-local wrapper of Genode's AVL string tree

The default file-system communication-buffer size of 128 KiB combined
with the clamping of requests to 1/4th the buffer size results in the
fragementation of read operations into 32 KiB chunks. This is overly
conservative and causes high context-switch overhead down the storage
stack (vfs server -> part_block -> block driver).

The NIC router README claims that the 'dns_config_from' attribute in a DHCP
server configuration binds the propagated link state of all interfaces at the
domain of the server to the validity of the IP config of the domain that is
given through 'dns_config_from'.
However, this was not true. The router missed to implement this detail which
led to clients of such a DHCP server sending DHCP DISCOVER packets too early.
These early DHCP DISCOVER packets were dropped by the router potentially
causing a big delay until the client started a new attempt. Unnecessary long
network boot-up delays were observed with at least the lwip run script and
Sculpt on the PinePhone and could be tracked down to this former
inconsistency in the router.
This commit fixes the inconsistency.

The new 'Dictionary' provides an easy way to access objects using

This patch consolidates the repetitive error handling across the RPC
functions, which take node handles or directory handles as arguments.
During this change, I noticed that directory handles - which are values
provided by the client - were not checked for their type before being
used. A misbehaving client may open a file, manually construct a
directory handle using the number of the file handle, and invoke a
directory operation at lx_fs, which would then wrongly access a file
node as directory node.
This patch solves this issue by introducing two distinct methods
_with_open_node and _with_open_dir_node, which perform the respective
safety checks.
Fixes#4608
Creating and destructing an interface was not considered a change of its real
link state as defined in the description of the <report link_state_triggers="">
config attribute in the router's README. In case of Uplink sessions this is
obviously a problem as they communicate their real link state through session
lifetime. But also in case of NIC sessions it's a possible to create an
interface that is immediately "up" after creation or destruct an interface
without its link state going "down" beforehand.
Taking into account also the practical application of the
<report link_state_triggers=""> attribute, reporting only on destruction and
construction of interfaces that are "up" seems shorthanded. This is because a
report-receiver most likely needs to be able to synchronize the lifetime of
the objects that keep track of the link states with the lifetime of the
corresponding sessions.
That said, with this commit, the router triggers a report update on each
session construction/destruction when <report link_state_triggers=""> is
set.
Fixes#4462
The NIC router used to generate reports triggered by IP config changes or link
state changes synchonously, i.e., inline with the activation context that
caused the change. This has two disadvantages. First, it can lead to an
excessive number of report updates in situations with quick bursts of
triggering changes. In such situations it is preferable to collect the changes
and reflect them with only one final report update.
Second, synchronous reporting may happen while the router is in a state that
leads to an incorrect report (e.g. during reconfiguration). To prevent this
from happening, the router so far explicitely switched off reporting when
entering incoherent states and back on when leaving them. However, this
solution is error-prone as the exclusion windows must be maintained manually.
Both issues can be solved by not directly generating a report when necessary
but instead submitting a signal and letting the signal handler do the work in
a dedicated activation context.
Ref #4462
This patch splits the querying of the number of directory entries from
the directory's 'status' information. Subsuming the number of directory
entries as part of the status makes 'stat' calls too costly for some
file systems that need to read a directory for determining the number of
entries. So when stat'ing the entries of one directory that contains sub
directories, all entries of each sub directory are visited.
Thanks to Cedric Degea for pointing out this performance bottleneck!
With this change, the 'status' function returns a 'Status::size' value
of 0 when called for a directory handle.
Fixes#4603
The DHCP client of the NIC router used to end up in an uncaught exception if
an IP address in the DNS server option of a DHCP ACK was invalid. This commit
makes the 'Dns_server' constructor (where the exception originated from)
private and instead introduces a public lambda method 'construct' that calls
one lambda argument on success and another on failure. This is also in line
with the most recent changes to the 'find_by_*' methods of other classes in
the NIC router and contributes to the goal of reducing expensive exception
handling.
Fixes#4465
The Interface class of the router is an abstraction for NIC client sessions,
NIC server sessions, and Uplink sessions. Nonetheless, Interface generally used
to use the packet stream types of the Nic namespace and it worked because the
Uplink packet stream types are factually the same (the are typedef'd from the
same base type templates with the same parameters).
The initial intention of this issue was to remove dependency on the diverse
packet stream stream types from Interface. However, this turned out to be more
tricky than thought. The Interface class calls function templates on the packet
stream types, making a generic virtual interface impossible. And moving the
calling code to the session classes as well would produce a lot of redundancy.
Therefore, this commit removes only the use of the Nic namespace in the
interface.* files by typedef'ing the packet stream types from the generic
Genode type templates with the same parameters as in Nic and Uplink.
Fixes#4385
The `with_sub_node` method is renamed to `with_optional_sub_node` to

called when no sub node of the desired type exists.

The NIC router used to send an ICMP "Destination Unreachable" packet as
response to every unroutable IPv4 packet. However, RFC 1812 section 4.3.2.7
defines certain properties that must be fullfilled by an incoming packet in

is no IPv4 multicast.
This commit prevents sending the mentioned ICMP response for unroutable IPv4
multicasts and instead drops them silently.

In overload situations, i.e. when a sender fills up the entire buffer, we land
in situations where the sender receives an ack_avail signal, releases one
packet, allocates and sends a packet and fails to allocate a second packet.
This is especially relevant if the receiver does not batch ack_avail signals
(such as vfs_lwip). In those ping-pong scheduling scenarios, the overhead from
catching the Packet_alloc_failed exception becomes significant. In case of the
NIC router, we will land in an overload situation if the sender is faster than
the receiver. The packet buffer will be filled up at some point and the NIC
router starts to drop packets. For every dropped packet, we currently have to
catch the Packet_alloc_failed exception.
This commit adds a new method alloc_packet_attempt to Packet_stream_source that
has almost the same signature as the older alloc_packet method but returns
an Attempt<Packet_descriptor, Alloc_packet_error> object. As the method already
used the allocator back end exception-less, changes on lower levels were not
needed. Furthermore, the NIC router was modified to use the new exception-less
alloc_packet_attempt instead of alloc_packet.

Whenever a domain looses all its interfaces or the link state of all attached
interfaces is down at once, the domain potentially moves to another Ethernet
segment and should therefore consider its ARP cache to be outdated.
RFC 826 states that "... If a host moves, any connections initiated by that
host will work, assuming its own address resolution table is cleared when it
moves. ...".
Therefore, this commit introduces clearing the ARP cache and the initially
stated events.
This commit was motivated by an issue with the PinePhone Modem and USB NIC.
On the PinePhone, the Modem has its own OS and acts as direct gateway to the
outer world for the USB NIC that is driven by Genode. However, whenever the
Modem gets restarted, Modem and USB NIC receive a new MAC address. This used
to conflict with the NIC routers ARP entry for the Modem that didn't cease to
be valid.
With this commit, the integrator of such a scenario at least has a convenient
way of fixing this by ensuring that all interfaces at the USB NIC domain go
down when resetting (e.g. by ensuring that the USB NIC is the only interface at
that domain).

The issue was discovered with Intel LPSS devices in Fujitsu notebooks.
Fixes#4501
To discharge the generic platform driver from certain PCI bus scanning,
and ACPI + kernel specifics, this commit introduces a new component,
which consumes the acpi drivers report and the platform_info from core
to prepare a devices ROM for the platform driver that contains all
PCI devices and its resources.
Fixgenodelabs/genode#4495
USB Attached SCSI devices might expose a bulk-only interface
as fall-back at interface 0 and alternate setting 0. This commit
allows for probing all alternate settings of the active interface
to be able to use such devices.
The configuration was extended so that in case the device interface
is known beforehand the driver can be configured accordingly.
Fixes#4494.
Since the driver relies on all requests being Nvme::MPS_LOG2 aligned
as advertised in its Block::Info the added check will reject any
misaligned requests (using 'gpt_write' led to an IOMMU write fault).
Issue #4486.
To signal that a device gets used and released by a session
introduce claim, release, and release all callbacks in the
USB interface of the C-API.

Before this commit, the block-request handler was implemented as
Io_signal_handler and, additionally, the USB driver called the
block-request handler on request completion directly on I/O level. This
is generally a bad idea because I/O handlers should avoid to have direct
global side effects. In contrast, application logic should be
implemented in way that it consumes atomic state changes after I/O
completed. Now USB I/O completion locally submits a signal to the
block-request Signal_handler.
