Instead of using a raw `KBuffer` and letting each implementation to
populating the specific flags on its own, we change things so we only
let each FileSystem implementation to validate the flag and its value
but then store it in a HashMap which its key is the flag name and
the value is a special new class called `FileSystemSpecificOption`
which wraps around `AK::Variant<...>`.
This approach has multiple advantages over the previous:
- It allows runtime inspection of what the user has set on a `MountFile`
description for a specific filesystem.
- It ensures accidental overriding of filesystem specific option that
was already set is not possible
- It removes ugly casting of a `KBuffer` contents to a strongly-typed
values. Instead, a strongly-typed `AK::Variant` is used which ensures
we always get a value without doing any casting.
Please note that we have removed support for ASCII string-oriented flags
as there were no actual use cases, and supporting such type would make
`FileSystemSpecificOption` more complicated unnecessarily for now.
SysFS, ProcFS and DevPtsFS were all sending filetype 0 when traversing
their directories, but it is actually very easy to send proper filetypes
in these filesystems.
This patch binds all RAM backed filesystems to use only one enum for
their internal filetype, to simplify the implementation and allow
sharing of code.
Please note that the Plan9FS case is currently not solved as I am not
familiar with this filesystem and its constructs.
The ProcFS mostly keeps track of the filetype, and a fix was needed for
the /proc root directory - all processes exhibit a directory inside it
which makes it very easy to hardcode the directory filetype for them.
There's also the `self` symlink inode which is now exposed as DT_LNK.
As for SysFS, we could leverage the fact everything inherits from the
SysFSComponent class, so we could have a virtual const method to return
the proper filetype.
Most of the files in SysFS are "regular" files though, so the base class
has a non-pure virtual method.
Lastly, the DevPtsFS simply hardcodes '.' and '..' as directory file
type, and everything else is hardcoded to send the character device file
type, as this filesystem is only exposing character pts device files.
RAMFS was passing 0, which lead to the userspace seeing all entries as
DT_UNKNOWN when iterating over the directory contents.
To repro prior to this commit, simply check `echo /tmp/*/`.
This is a preparation before we can create a usable mechanism to use
filesystem-specific mount flags.
To keep some compatibility with userland code, LibC and LibCore mount
functions are kept being usable, but now instead of doing an "atomic"
syscall, they do multiple syscalls to perform the complete procedure of
mounting a filesystem.
The FileBackedFileSystem IntrusiveList in the VFS code is now changed to
be protected by a Mutex, because when we mount a new filesystem, we need
to check if a filesystem is already created for a given source_fd so we
do a scan for that OpenFileDescription in that list. If we fail to find
an already-created filesystem we create a new one and register it in the
list if we successfully mounted it. We use a Mutex because we might need
to initiate disk access during the filesystem creation, which will take
other mutexes in other parts of the kernel, therefore making it not
possible to take a spinlock while doing this.
There was only one permanent storage location for these: as a member
in the Mount class.
That member is never modified after Mount initialization, so we don't
need to worry about races there.
This filesystem is based on the code of the long-lived TmpFS. It differs
from that filesystem in one keypoint - its root inode doesn't have a
sticky bit on it.
Therefore, we mount it on /dev, to ensure only root can modify files on
that directory. In addition to that, /tmp is mounted directly in the
SystemServer main (start) code, so it's no longer specified in the fstab
file. We ensure that /tmp has a sticky bit and has the value 0777 for
root directory permissions, which is certainly a special case when using
RAM-backed (and in general other) filesystems.
Because of these 2 changes, it's no longer needed to maintain the TmpFS
filesystem, hence it's removed (renamed to RAMFS), because the RAMFS
represents the purpose of this filesystem in a much better way - it
relies on being backed by RAM "storage", and therefore it's easy to
conclude it's temporary and volatile, so its content is gone on either
system shutdown or unmounting of the filesystem.
