Previously we accepted trailing NULs, which was backwards compatible
as such usage never resulted in misbehavior in the first place. The
downside is that it prevented erts_native_filename_need from
returning an accurate number of *actual characters*, needlessly
complicating encoding-agnostic code like erts_osenv.
|
|
The option no longer does anything; systems that lack support for
non-blocking sendfile(2) will use the Erlang fallback.
|
|
The parts relating to drivers/ports are now obsolete, and the
provided example was far noisier than it had to be; the only
relevant metric is the number of calls and it's up to the user to
decide how those will be reduced. One could argue for its complete
removal, but I'm inclined to leave it be.

Various places that now reject null chars inside strings
- Primitive file operations reject it in filenames.
- Primitive environment variable operations reject it in
names and values.
- os:cmd() reject it in its input.
Also '=' characters are rejected by primitive environment
variable operations in environment variable names.
Documentation has been updated to document null characters
in these types of data as invalid. Currently these operations
accept null chars at the end of strings, but that will change
in the future.

In commit 3d70cee4034e, this text was changed to suggest that a list of Unix-specific permission bits would follow, but no such list was added. Let's revert back to the previous wording, so people won't look for a list that isn't there.

Correct file:set_cwd/1 typespec
OTP-11787

file:set_cwd/1 accepts binaries as arguments, however the binaries
must be properly encoded as per file:native_name_encoding/0.

a ISO-latin-1 encoded binary under any unicode file name encoding.

This has been done because a slow client attack is possible if the
async thread pool is used. The scenario is:
Client does a request for a file and then slowly receives the file one
byte at a time. This will eventually fill the async thread pool with blocking
sendfile operations and thus starving the vm of all file operations.
If you still want to use the async threads pool for sendfile an option to
enable it has been introduced.

* sv/file-osync/OTP-11498:
Add sync option to file:open/2
Conflicts:
erts/preloaded/ebin/prim_file.beam
|
|
The sync option adds the POSIX O_SYNC flag to the open system call on
platforms that support the flag or its equivalent, e.g.,
FILE_FLAG_WRITE_THROUGH on Windows. For platforms that don't support it,
file:open/2 returns {error, enotsup} if the sync option is passed in.
The semantics of O_SYNC are platform-specific. For example, not all
platforms guarantee that all file metadata are written to the disk along
with the file data when the flag is in effect. This issue is noted in the
documentation this commit adds for the sync option.
Add a test for the sync option. Note however that the underlying OS
semantics for O_SYNC can't be tested automatically in any practical way, so
the test assumes the OS does the right thing with the flag when
present. For manual verification, dtruss on OS X and strace on Linux were
both run against beam processes to watch calls to open(), and file:open/2
was called in Erlang shells to open files for writing, both with and
without the sync option. Both the dtruss output and the strace output
showed that the O_SYNC flag was present in the open() calls when sync was
specified and was clear when sync was not specified.

* hb/file_name_type/OTP-10852:
Introduce new type file:name_all()
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The recommended type for filenames is a list of characters (which
may be Unicode characters greater than 255). Change the
file:filename() to reflect that.
For the filename module we still need a type that can be either
a string or a binary, so we need to introduce the type
file:filename_all().
|
|
|
|
The type ascii_string() in the base64 module has been corrected.
The type file:file_info() has been cleaned up.
The type file:fd() has been made opaque in the documentation.
The type nodes() has been removed from erl_bif_types.erl.

This operation allows pre-allocation of space for files.
It succeeds only on systems that support such operation.
The POSIX standard defines the optional system call
posix_fallocate() to implement this feature. However,
some systems implement more specific functions to
accomplish the same operation.
On Linux, if the more specific function fallocate() is
implemented, it is used instead of posix_fallocate(),
falling back to posix_fallocate() if the fallocate()
call failed (it's only supported for the ext4, ocfs2,
xfs and btrfs file systems at the moment).
On Mac OS X it uses the specific fcntl() operation
F_PREALLOCATE, falling back to posix_fallocate() if
it's available (at the moment Mac OS X doesn't provide
posix_fallocate()).
On any other UNIX system, it uses posix_fallocate() if it's
available. Any other system not providing this system call
or any function to pre-allocate space for files, this operation
always fails with the ENOTSUP POSIX error.

Expect modifications, additions and corrections.
There is a kludge in file_io_server and
erl_scan:continuation_location() that's not so pleasing.

Since the API for headers/trailers seem to be very awkward to
work with when using non-blocking io the feature is dropped
for now. See unix_efile.c for more details.

Allow Erlang code to use sendfile() where available by wrapping it as
file:sendfile/4 and file:sendfile/2.
sendfile(2) - Linux man page:
"sendfile() copies data between one file descriptor and another.
Because this copying is done within the kernel, sendfile() is more
efficient than the combination of read(2) and write(2), which would
require transferring data to and from user space."

An incorrect spec, rpc:yield/1, has been fixed.
