This patch reduces the number of exception types by facilitating
globally defined exceptions for common usage patterns shared by most
services. In particular, RPC functions that demand a session-resource
upgrade not longer reflect this condition via a session-specific
exception but via the 'Out_of_ram' or 'Out_of_caps' types.
Furthermore, the 'Parent::Service_denied', 'Parent::Unavailable',
'Root::Invalid_args', 'Root::Unavailable', 'Service::Invalid_args',
'Service::Unavailable', and 'Local_service::Factory::Denied' types have
been replaced by the single 'Service_denied' exception type defined in
'session/session.h'.
This consolidation eases the error handling (there are fewer exceptions
to handle), alleviates the need to convert exceptions along the
session-creation call chain, and avoids possible aliasing problems
(catching the wrong type with the same name but living in a different
scope).
Change metadata before submitting a packet. If the submitting thread is a
pthread, the metadata may be immediately change by the signal handler running
in the context of the entrypoint thread.
When a directory gets destructed it dissolves the handles of each contained file
but the acknowledgement might be still in-flight. If we finally receive it,
it leads to an Unknown_id exception on the Handles ID Space in 'handle_ack'.
Now we catch it, print a warning, and go on.
The support has two parts. First, a VFS plugin now gets passed an
I/O-response handler callback on construction, which informs users of the
VFS that an I/O event occurred. This enables, for example, the libC to
check if blocking read can be completed. Further, the VFS file I/O
interface provides now functions for suspendable reads, i.e.,
queue_read() and complete_read().
The block file system wrongly modified the seek offset during a
read-modify-write operation that is required for sub-block-size
requests. This led to problems whenever such write requests spanned
multiple blocks and thereby were handled in multiple iterations.
Fixes#2262
The log plugin can now be configured to request a log session with the
specified label like follows.
<log label="..."/>
Per default, no new log session is requested but the existing log
session of the component's environment is used.
Move FS Node implementations from server/ram_fs to include/ram_fs.
Support embedded ram_fs instances in VFS configurations using <ram/>.
Add 'no space' handling to VFS symlink ops.
Fixes#1635
This patch moves the VFS file-system factory to a separate vfs library
that is independent from libc. This enables libc-less Genode programs to
easily use the VFS infrastructure.
Fixes#1561
