This commit converts naked `new`s to `AK::try_make` and `AK::try_create`
wherever possible. If the called constructor is private, this can not be
done, so we instead now use the standard-defined and compiler-agnostic
`new (nothrow)`.
This fixes#8133.
Ext2FSInode::remove_child() searches the lookup cache, so if it's not
initialized, removing the child fails. If the child was a directory,
this led to it being corrupted and having 0 children.
I also added populate_lookup_cache to add_child. I hadn't seen any
bugs there, but if the cache wasn't populated before, adding that
one entry would make it think it was populated, so that would cause
bugs later.
Problem:
- `static` variables consume memory and sometimes are less
optimizable.
- `static const` variables can be `constexpr`, usually.
- `static` function-local variables require an initialization check
every time the function is run.
Solution:
- If a global `static` variable is only used in a single function then
move it into the function and make it non-`static` and `constexpr`.
- Make all global `static` variables `constexpr` instead of `const`.
- Change function-local `static const[expr]` variables to be just
`constexpr`.
The make<T> factory function allocates internally and immediately
dereferences the pointer, and always returns a NonnullOwnPtr<T> making
it impossible to propagate an error on OOM.
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.

Instead of reading in the entire contents of a directory into a large
buffer, we can iterate block by block. This only requires a small
buffer.
Because directory entries are guaranteed to never span multiple blocks
we do not have to handle any edge cases related to that.
write_bytes is called with a count of 0 bytes if a directory is being
deleted, because in that case even the . and .. pseudo directories are
getting removed. In this case write_bytes is now a no-op.
Before write_bytes would fail because it would check to see if there
were any blocks available to write in (even though it wasn't going to
write in them anyway).
This behaviour was uncovered because of a recent change where
directories are correctly reduced in size. Which in this case results in
all the blocks being removed from the inode, whereas previously there
would be some stale blocks around to pass the check.
e2fsck considers all blocks reachable through any of the pointers in
m_raw_inode.i_block as part of this inode regardless of the value in
m_raw_inode.i_size. When it finds more blocks than the amount that
is indicated by i_size or i_blocks it offers to repair the filesystem
by changing those values. That will actually cause further corruption.
So we must zero all pointers to blocks that are now unused.
Ext2 directory contents are stored in a linked list of ext2_dir_entry
structs. There is no sentinel value to determine where the list ends.
Instead the list fills the entirety of the allocated space for the
inode.
Previously the inode was not correctly resized when it became smaller.
This resulted in stale data being interpreted as part of the linked list
of directory entries.
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.

This pattern felt really cluttery:
auto result = something();
if (result.is_error())
return result;
Since it leaves "result" lying around in the no-error case.
Let's use some C++17 if initializer expressions to improve this:
if (auto result = something(); result.is_error())
return result;
Now the "result" goes out of scope if we don't need it anymore.
This is doubly nice since we're also free to reuse the "result"
name later in the same function.
It's perfectly valid for ext2 inodes to have blocks with index 0.
It means that no physical block was allocated for that area of an inode
and we should treat it as if it's filled with zeroes.
Fixes#6139.
This was using up to 12KB of kernel stack in the triply indirect case
and looks generally spooky. Let's just allocate a ByteBuffer for now
and take the performance hit (of heap allocation). Longer term we can
reorganize the code to reduce the majority of the heap churn.
As it turns out, Dr. POSIX doesn't require that post-mmap() changes
to a file are reflected in the memory mappings. So we don't actually
have to care about the file size changing (or the contents.)
IIUC, as long as all the MAP_SHARED mappings that refer to the same
inode are in sync, we're good.
This means that VMObjects don't need resizing capabilities. I'm sure
there are ways we can take advantage of this fact.
We don't need to flush the on-disk inode struct multiple times while
writing out its block list. Just mark the in-memory Inode as having
dirty metadata and the SyncTask will flush it eventually.
Since the inode is the logical owner of its block list, let's move the
code that computes the block list there, and also stop hogging the FS
lock while we compute the block list, as there is no need for it.
There are two locks in the Ext2FS implementation:
* The FS lock (Ext2FS::m_lock)
This governs access to the superblock, block group descriptors,
and the block & inode bitmap blocks. It's held while allocating
or freeing blocks/inodes.
* The inode lock (Ext2FSInode::m_lock)
This governs access to the inode metadata, including the block
list, and to the content data as well. It's held while doing
basically anything with the inode.
Once an on-disk block/inode is allocated, it logically belongs
to the in-memory Inode object, so there's no need for the FS lock
to be taken while manipulating them, the inode lock is all you need.
This dramatically reduces the impact of disk I/O on path resolution
and various other things that look at individual inodes.
This reverts commit 1e737a5c50.
The cached block list does not include meta-blocks, so we'd end up
leaking those. There's definitely a nice way to avoid work here, but it
turns out it wasn't quite this trivial. Reverting for now.
This patch combines inode the scan for an available inode with the
updating of the bit in the inode bitmap into a single operation.
We also exit the scan immediately when we find an inode, instead of
continuing until we've scanned all the eligible groups(!)
Finally, we stop holding the filesystem lock throughout the entire
operation, and instead only take it while actually necessary
(during inode allocation, flush, and inode cache update.)
Improve a bunch of situations where we'd previously panic the kernel
on failure. We now propagate whatever error we had instead. Usually
that'll be EIO.
