2016-07-28Fix xattr performanceseebs/xattr_performanceseebs
When deleting files, we *do* know the inode and attribute, most of the time, so we pass those in whenever possible. The full purge of unmatched xattrs should not happen when the correct dev/ino are believed to be known. Signed-off-by: Seebs <seebs@seebs.net>
2016-03-25rework extended attribute support in databasePeter Seebach
extended attributes are a property of inodes, not paths. There can be multiple file database entries for a single inode, so switch to using inodes rather than paths. Still to-do: Delete them when deleting the last file with a given device and inode.
2014-10-03Possibly fix strange corruptionsPeter Seebach
Trying to track down problems which sometimes result in files showing up as nameless files, producing clashes later. Looks like there were two issues; one is we were creating links for files that we'd already found by inode. The other is that rename was sending bogus LINK messages in some cases. Also simplified the find_file_dev path to extract the path as part of the initial operation, since there wasn't any case where that wasn't being done immediately afterwards.
2014-04-21Initial draft xattr supportPeter Seebach
Initial, incomplete, support for extended attributes. Extended attributes are implemented fairly naively, using a second table in the file database using the primary file table's id as a foreign key. The ON DELETE CASCADE behavior requires sqlite 3.6.19 or later with foreign key and trigger support compiled in. To reduce round-trips, the client does not check for existing attributes, but rather, sends three distinct set messages; OP_SET_XATTR, OP_CREATE_XATTR, OP_REPLACE_XATTR. A SET message always succeeds, a CREATE fails if the attribute already exists, and a REPLACE fails if the attribute does not already exist. The /* flags */ feature of makewrappers is used to correct path names appropriately, so all functions are already working with complete paths, and can always use functions that work on links; if they were supposed to dereference, the path fixup code got that. The xattr support is enabled, for now, conditional on whether getfattr --help succeeds. Not yet implemented: Translation for system.posix_acl_access, which is used by "cp -a" (or "cp --preserve-all") on some systems to try to copy modes.

2013-02-16Use in-memory database for filesPeter Seebach
It turns out that file databases don't get very large, and that sqlite3 can be quite fast with an in-memory database. It also turns out that dumping the database to disk on exit (or during idle times) is pretty cheap compared to constant updates. So: We add "--enable-memory-db", which defaults to on if you have sqlite 3.7 or later, and off for 3.6 (because 3.6 has horrible performance with in-memory db on some hosts we tried).
2010-11-30Major shift: All the id_t types have been reworked so that theyPeter Seebach
are generated from text files and templates, making it now (we hope) impossible for the list of strings to get out of sync with the enum.
2010-11-17First pass of some cleanups -- support moving a tracked directory fromPeter Seebach
one device to another, for instance.
2010-08-17Draft one effort at making unlink more robust and fixing an obviousseebs
bug in the speculative-unlink operation. The intent is to mark and then confirm or cancel the delete. This removes the quirk where we tried to stash old database entries, which didn't handle directories anyway; "rmdir non-empty-directory" is a bit too common a case to dismiss as unthinkable.
2010-08-11Enable local variable cacheMark Hatle
Add local variable cache via get_value and set_value. The local cache is setup at constructor time (or soon after). Rewrite the pseudo_setupenv and pseudo_dropenv routines, add a new pseudo_setupenvp and pseudo_dropenvp as well to handle the execve cases. We can now successfully use /usr/bin/env -i env and get pseudo values back!
2010-04-30Cleanup of pdb_historyPeter Seebach
pdb_history was overloaded as a delete function. Separated this out into a query-builder and a pair of functions to use it, which makes it cleaner.
2010-04-26Handle rename(3) across devices.Peter Seebach
When you rename across devices, inode can change. Until now, pseudo had no tools for handling a change in inode, but this is clearly a legitimate case.
2010-04-26Add sanity checkPeter Seebach
It is possible for the database to get out of sync with the filesystem. Detecting this after the fact can be hard. Provide a hook for requesting a check. Also merge in some LD_LIBRARY_PATH fixes.
2010-04-26Updates/improvements for loggingPeter Seebach
Send program name (program_invocation_name from glibc) along with the tag. Along the way, restructure the fds/pids/tags arrays to be an array of client structures in pseudo_server, and add the message type to the set of things logged -- logging that a message was a ping is more useful than appending the text "ping" to it. Add support for type and program to pseudolog. Add deletion to pseudolog. Handle usage message formatting when there's an odd number of known specifiers for pseudolog. Conflicts: ChangeLog.txt pseudo_server.c
2010-03-26Track file open flagsPeter Seebach
This patch adds support for checking whether a file was opened for reading, writing, or both, as well as tracking append flags. It is not very well tested. This is preparation for improved host contamination checking.
