Until now, our kernel has reimplemented a number of AK classes to
provide automatic internal locking:
- RefPtr
- NonnullRefPtr
- WeakPtr
- Weakable
This patch renames the Kernel classes so that they can coexist with
the original AK classes:
- RefPtr => LockRefPtr
- NonnullRefPtr => NonnullLockRefPtr
- WeakPtr => LockWeakPtr
- Weakable => LockWeakable
The goal here is to eventually get rid of the Lock* classes in favor of
using external locking.
Instead of requiring each FileSystem implementation to call this method
when trying to write data, do the calls at 2 points to avoid further
calls (or lack of them due to not remembering to use it) at other files
and locations in the codebase.
I haven't found any POSIX specification on this, but the Linux kernel
appears to handle it like that.
This is required by QEMU, as it just bulk-unlocks all its file locking
bytes without checking first if they are held.
Rename the bound socket accessor from socket() to bound_socket().
Also return RefPtr<LocalSocket> instead of a raw pointer, to make it
harder for callers to mess up.
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. :^)
This patch adds KBufferBuilder::try_create() and treats it like anything
else that can fail. And so, failure to allocate the initial internal
buffer of the builder will now propagate an ENOMEM to the caller. :^)
Advisory locks don't actually prevent other processes from writing to
the file, but they do prevent other processes looking to acquire and
advisory lock on the file.
This implementation currently only adds non-blocking locks, which are
all I need for now.
This patch modifies InodeWatcher to switch to a one watcher, multiple
watches architecture. The following changes have been made:
- The watch_file syscall is removed, and in its place the
create_iwatcher, iwatcher_add_watch and iwatcher_remove_watch calls
have been added.
- InodeWatcher now holds multiple WatchDescriptions for each file that
is being watched.
- The InodeWatcher file descriptor can be read from to receive events on
all watched files.

The error handling in all these cases was still using the old style
negative values to indicate errors. We have a nicer solution for this
now with KResultOr<T>. This change switches the interface and then all
implementers to use the new style.
